Dear Conor,

I apologize for any confusion my commit message caused. What I wanted
to convey was the hardware differences between the MT8196 and previous
ICs. I would like to rewrite the commit message as follows:
Compared to previous ICs, the MT8196 supports a 10-bit decoder and has
a decoding capability of 4K@120fps, also supports 36-bit DRAM IOVA
address and Video Power Control to optimize bandwidth and voltage
usage.

I will update the commit message accordingly in the next revision.

Thanks a lot.

Kyrie
