We want to register the two cores into one V4L2 device, and use core0
by default, as for core1, we can enable it when the firmware supports.
I think it should be one way to manage the two encoder hardware, and we
can still use core0 normally event if the firmware doesn't support
multi-core encode.

We plan to delete the property in next version.

Currently, mt8195 defines total 27 iommus for Larb19, and now we can
use 9 iommus of them.
