Sure, I'll try to expand that description a bit.

I tend to agree. Note however that this boolean is supposed to
disappear soon as there is another patch (not part of this series)
that will split the decoder into two nodes. The reason why we have
this boolean is because MT8173 actually controls *2* instances of this
encoder (one for H.264, one for VP8) that are actually separate
hardware.

MT8183 only has one instance of the encoder (for H.264, that chip has
no VP8 support), so I have added this boolean to control this. Once
the DT node split happens it will go away. In the meantime, maybe we
can try to handle this better by looking at the number of interrupts
provided by the DT and enabling/disabling that extra interrupt based
on that. It will be 2 for MT8173 and 1 for MT8183, so that should work
fine.

Nice suggestion, thanks. I will test and add a patch to this series.

Mmm, let me check that a bit closer because I know MT8183 communicates
with the firmware a bit differently, so this may require these fields.
But maybe we can split that part into another patch.

I will need to re-read this part to understand which one it is, but
will split the patch if it turns out to make sense.

Will comment if I can figure out what it is useful for. :)

Ack.

Yeah, it's just renaming this member to something that makes more
sense, "data_item" bringing absolutely no information about what this
does. Will make an extra patch for it.

Ditto what? :) There is no code change right here.

Unfortunately vpu->id can be assigned an ipi_id or scp_ipi_id, which
are two different namespaces and which values can thus collide. So we
cannot use ID for this.

"is_ext" refers to whether the firmware uses an extended version of
the protocol to communicate, so using it here seems to be in place.
