It's nice to see this finally moving forward!

As you know, Hantro G2 support for i.MX8MQ (and i.MX8MP, i.MX8MM) is currently
blocked, as you have requested:

https://lore.kernel.org/driverdev-devel/5aa5700b862234895a7a6eb251ca3c80fdc1a6d3.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So, I think we really need to include i.MX8MP and i.MX8MQ on this series.
It's been quite a while and we really need to have that. To be honest,
I fear that
if we merge this series as-is, MX8MP and MX8MP support will fall in
the oblivion,
and Hantro G2 VPU will remain unusable.

We are planning to submit Hantro G2 VP9 support soon, and we've been testing
on various platforms, but it will also be blocked by lack of power-domains.

In the future, please Cc the linux-media mailing list, as well as
Benjamin, Andrzej and myself, so we can follow this.

Thanks a lot for the hard work!
