This interface doesn't enforce the fact only one of the two
should be present, but not both (which is the case, right?).

I hope I'm not bikeshedding here, but from an interface POV,
would it be cleaner to just have a single mediatek,coprocessor
property, and then use of_device_is_compatible
to distinguish VPU from SCP type?

Moreover, I'd argue you don't need a dt-binding change
and should just keep the current mediatek-vpu property,
and then rely on of_device_is_compatible.
