For both comments: I aligned with what was there..

The driver abuses these compats to probe enc/dec submodules, even though
every Venus implementation (to my knowledge) is implicitly enc/dec capable..

Perhaps a bigger clean-up is due. I guess I could just create the venc/vdec
devices from the venus core probe and get rid of this fake stuff?
