These are needed in the DRM driver, see drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_drm_ddp_comp.c

I added Chun-Kuang who is the maintainer of the driver. I think it's a good idea
to have this alias described in the binding. Maybe a good excuse to move to yaml
as well :)

I suppose you are talking about "mediatek,mt8173-vcodec-enc-vp8". The binding
patches are in the media tree [1]. Maybe I supposed wrongly that they will land
in v5.13? Or perhaps I should have mentioned that in the pull request.

If it wasn't about this compatible and you can still remember, please let me
know so that we can fix that :)

I double checked and didn't find any missing binding. Some of them only have the
fallback binding described, maybe that's what you are referring to.

Fair enough, pull request was quite late. I'll queue them for the next round then.

Thanks for having a look,
Matthias
