As I've mentioned:
"""
the current binding models the idea of decoder and encoder
being the same device. This has never been really really accurate,
as the encoder and decoders have always been more or less independent.
The reason for having them on a single device are mostly historical,
some old devices shared some resource. I don't think this is the case anymore,
but the binding was still modeled to support that.
"""
The PX30 and RK3399 VPUs are probably pretty independent as well,
and in retrospective, we should have done separated Device Tree nodes.
For historical reasons, we didn't, and we introduced those weird "enc_offset"
and "dec_offset" fields:
const struct hantro_variant px30_vpu_variant = {
.enc_offset = 0x0,
.enc_fmts = rockchip_vpu_enc_fmts,
.num_enc_fmts = ARRAY_SIZE(rockchip_vpu_enc_fmts),
.dec_offset = 0x400,
.dec_fmts = rk3399_vpu_dec_fmts,

That applies for the binding for the previous existing compatible strings.
You are adding a new compatible string, so just change the binding
so it no longer requires "interrupt-names", for its single interrupt line.
Quoting devicetree maintainer [1]:
"""
*-names are used to distinguish multiple entries
and don't add anything if only a single entry.
