This IP is present in 2 SOCs, imx8qxp & imx8qm.
For the next version, I modified the compatibles to nxp,imx8qxp-jpgdec
& nxp,imx8qxp-jpgenc, since only 8qxp was tested upstream.
I kept the name of the yaml file generic, but modified it to nxp,imx8-
jpeg.yaml. Possibly, in the future, this file will also host imx8qm
compatibles.
Also changed the dtb & driver accordingly.

No, the driver keeps track of which slots are used (and, for now, only
uses slot 0).
It is also possible to determine which is the current running slot by
accessing a status memory mapped register (the IP runs the configured
slots in a round-robin manner, not in parallel).
The assumption is, however, that in the device node, the interrupt i is
for slot i. So, I rephrased this to:
  interrupts:
    description: |
      There are 4 slots available in the IP, which the driver may use
      If a certain slot is used, it should have an associated interrupt
      The interrupt with index i is assumed to be for slot i
    minItems: 1               # At least one slot is needed by the
driver
    maxItems: 4               # The IP has 4 slots available for use
