Revise the description of MediaTek video decoder to improve wording, fix typos, simplify diagram, and extend the pipeline architecture used in newer MediaTek SoCs (MT8186 and MT8188). Signed-off-by: Fei Shao <fshao@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Feedback are welcome. I've tried my best to organize the existing information with some educated guesses, but there might be inaccuracies or gaps still. Please let me know if you have anything to add so we can make this more comprehensive. Thanks!
