[RFC PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: media: add Rockchip RK3576 VEPU H.264 encoder

From: Jiaxing Hu

Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 03:44:16 EST


Add the binding for the VEPU510 H.264 hardware video encoder found on the
Rockchip RK3576. Each SoC has two independent encoder cores, each behind
its own IOMMU.

+description: |-
+ RK3576 has two identical VEPU510 hardware H.264/H.265 video encoder
+ cores. Each core is a standalone V4L2 mem2mem device in this binding;
+ there is no shared hardware descriptor/link-list engine tying the two
+ cores together (unlike the RK3576 video decoder's CCU), so each core
+ node is independent and self-contained.
