I have to agree with Tomasz, non-tz or tz is a software detail and it
shouldn't be reflected in compatible string.

Also I'm not sure but what will happen if this video-firmware subnode is
not added, do you expect that backward compatibility is satisfied for
older venus versions?

We need device/driver bind because we need to call dma_configure() which
internally doing iommus sID parsing.
