And no IOMMU? Brings back memories.

AFAIR the name is supposed to be somewhat readable for someone that doesn't
know the hardware. To me, "video-engine" sounds more obvious than "vpu",
but we actually use "codec" already, in case of MFC and JPEG codec on
Exynos. If encode/decode is the only functionality of this block, I'd
personally go with "codec". If it can do other things, e.g.
scaling/rotation without encode/decode, I'd probably call it
"video-processor".
Best regards,
Tomasz
