I agree this is the problem, I don't agree that the boot loader is the
only place to fix this :-)  I should be able to generate a working devicetree
blob from the kernel that is good, and ready to use no runtime changes
required I figure.

It is not overly difficult to break out the vpu nodes and have them
only included when you have a board that has the iMX8MP-quad with the
VPU hardware blocks.

Example patch attached.
