I have two separated hardware: VDEC and VENC, not a single block like 
"VPU" for example. So what name should have this file ?
Other platforms had a common file because there was a common block 
embedding both decoder and encoder, sometimes with links/dependencies 
between both.
SAMA5D4 has only a decoder, only a single file called "_vdec_hw.c"...
so it is quite logical for me to have one file per independent IP.
