Can there be only 1 hardware block or is multiple possible?
If only 1, then I'd start with "The Verisilicon ...".
If more then one, then I'd use "blocks".

This makes it sound like it can also be used with non-Verisilicon codecs
and based on the DT binding description, I get the _impression_ that
that is not the case?
But it's actually not clear to me if that's the case or not.

"Enabling it will allow us to use non ..." or "Enable it to allow [the]
use of non ..." or "Enabling allows the use of non ..."

And the wrapping of the whole commit message is not following the
standards.
