Add documents for the Wave6 video codec on NXP i.MX SoCs.

Pretty incomplete commit msg. Nothing explaining hardware, nothing
documenting resolution of previous discussions (where is all this
chip&media?).

Why do you need here compatible? Can this child be anything else? Can it
be re-used? Is it actually a separate block?

Your example suggests that the only distinctive resource are the
interrupt and address space and that's on the edge of calling it a
separate device.

There is some tendency to call such "pseudo-cores" a separate devices in
case of video codec bindings and experience shows these are usually
fake. It's not the same as DP or HDMI sub-block of display pipeline.

That's why you should come here with strong argument what separate piece
of hardware this is.
