Just my 2 cents here, and to complement my last e-mail, the helper message
here IMO is a lot more confusing than if you do this, instead:

	config VIDEO_MEDIATEK_CODEC
	         depends on VIDEO_MEDIATEK_VPU_SCP || VIDEO_MEDIATEK_VPU
		 default y

	config VIDEO_MEDIATEK_VPU
            depends on VIDEO_DEV && VIDEO_V4L2
            depends on ARCH_MEDIATEK || COMPILE_TEST
            tristate "Enable Mediatek Video Processor Unit for MT8173"
	    help
		Select this option to enable Mediatek VPU on MT8173.

	config VIDEO_MEDIATEK_VPU_SCP
            depends on VIDEO_DEV && VIDEO_V4L2
            depends on ARCH_MEDIATEK || COMPILE_TEST
            tristate "Enable Mediatek Video Processor Unit for MT8183"
	    help
		Select this option to enable Mediatek VPU on MT8183.

To be clear, from my side, I can live with either one of the alternatives,
but, IMHO, the above is a lot clearer for anyone wanting to use
VPU, as, if MTK_SCP is disabled, the MT8183 Kconfig prompt will
disappear.

Thanks,
