Although your suggestion is good in terms of avoiding moving venus, I 
think the location of venus was wrong to begin with. There should have 
always been a vcodec (or similar) folder for venus/iris as that will 
establish the boundaries of camss and video sub-system in a cleaner way

I like the mediatek separation that way as it makes the boundaries clear:

drivers/media/platform/mediatek$ ls
jpeg  Kconfig  Makefile  mdp  mdp3  vcodec  vpu

So I think that this re-org of venus into a vcodec had to happen at some 
point. Its just that it aligned with iris addition.
