+description:
+  The al300-vdec represents the gen 3 of Allegro DVT IP video
+  decoding technology, offering significant advancements over its
+  predecessors. This new decoder features enhanced processing capabilities
+  with improved throughput and reduced latency.
+
+  Communication between the host driver software and the MCU is implemented
+  through a specialized mailbox interface mechanism. This mailbox system
+  provides a structured channel for exchanging commands, parameters, and
+  status information between the host CPU and the MCU controlling the codec
+  engines.

Need to drop the marketing. In 10y from now, this won't be new anymore.

As I said earlier, I'd like to see Micheal/PTX as maintainer for
drivers/media/platform/allegro-dvt for now, and you with only the AL300. They
have a lot more experience.
