1. The driver is also responsible for resetting the entire VCU (the
VCU_GASKET_INIT register). This isn't something that an individual encoder or
decoder driver should be doing. However, other clock drivers also implement a
reset controller.
2. There are several registers for AXI performance monitoring in the VCU
System-Level Control register space. Right now, these are not used by the
driver and I have no plans to actually use them, but this might be an argument
against the move.
I think it is OK to move the driver to drivers/clk/, but I don't have a strong
opinion about it.
