Hi Neil,

Thank you for the patch.

Do you mean "Video Post Processing" ? In your diagram above Video Processing 
Unit is abbreviated VPU and covers the VIU, VPP and encoders.

One of those two lines is redundant.

No registers ? Are the encoders registers part of the VPU register space, 
intertwined in a way that they can't be specified separately here ?
