I don't know if we have been clear enough with Gary about what changes
we want. Do we want to stay with a virtual package ? If so, what should
be the name of the virtual package vs. the name of the package for the
"old" i.MX VPUs ?

On my side, while I agree that imx-vpu-cnm violates the rule of "we
name packages like their upstream name", I believe this is a violation
that is acceptable because the naming chosen by Gary is the one that is
the easiest to understand and the most obvious: imx-vpu is the virtual
package, imx-vpu-hantro and imx-vpu-cnm are the providers.

Best regards,

Thomas
