Despite it seems like I signed-off this one...

... I'm not a fan of the change :)
Hopefully someone from NXP can provide some insight here?
If it's absolutely needed for the VPU, then I guess it should
be 1) very well documented and 2) moved to the top-lovel dtsi.
But if we can drop it, that'd be nicer.
Thanks,
