VCD and ECE are 2 h/w blocks and our video capture driver needs to
control their registers.
If I separate them and store a phandle (referring to ece node) in vcd
node like this:

vcd: vcd@f0810000 {
compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-vcd";
reg = <0xf0810000 0x10000>;
...
nuvoton,enc-engine = <&ece>;
};

ece: ece@f0820000 {
compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-ece";
reg = <0xf0820000 0x2000>;
...
};

Does it look good to you?

Marvin
