I was just going by what is already commonly used in other device trees.
Given that "vpu" doesn't seem to be as universally accepted as for
example "gpu", maybe "video-codec" is the better choice?
In any case, it should not matter what the the IP vendor or the SoC
vendor call this, the node name should be common and descriptive of its
function, same as ethernet controller nodes should be called "ethernet".

As I understand it this binding is referring to the whole [microblaze +
attached encoder/decoder hardware] setup that is supposed to work with
the Allegro specific firmware.
