+Chips&Media Coda multi-standard codec IP

+ (c) "fsl,imx6q-vpu" for CODA960 present in i.MX6q
+- reg: should be register base and length as documented in the
+ SoC reference manual
+- interrupts : Should contain the VPU interrupt. For CODA960,
+ a second interrupt is needed for the MJPEG unit.
+- clocks : Should contain the ahb and per clocks, in the order
+ determined by the clock-names property.
+- clock-names : Should be "ahb", "per"
+- iram : phandle pointing to the SRAM device node
+
+Example:
+
+vpu: vpu@63ff4000 {

+ reg = <0x63ff4000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <9>;
