shared_devices is an array of of_device_id we match against. All the matching
devices will share the same v4l2_m2m_dev (aka m2m scheduler). Typically, both
cores will be schedule as one. This achieve what alternate operations without
active polling or blocking locks/mutex.

For this platform, we only matched against the compatible for simplicity, since
we know there is only one of each type. I've suggested this method to Ming,
since it will make it really easy to apply such a quirk if other hardware have
problems or design constraints.

regards,
Nicolas
