They are not the same IP block twice.
Although both vdosys0 and vdosys1 will probe meiatek-drm driver, but
the components on their hardware path are different and their output
panel are also different.

From a hardware point of view, the components and the ouptut panel of
vdosys0 and vdosys1:
1. The components on meiatek-drm of vdosys0 are OVL0, RDMA0, COLOR0,
CCORR, AAL0, GAMMA, DITHER, DSC0, MERGE0, DP_INTF0 and its output panel
is eDP.

2. The components on meiatek-drm of vdosys1 are PSEUDO_OVL, MERGE5,
DP_INTF1 and its ouptut panel is DP.


The resaon for using two compatibales is that we use different driver
data in mtk-mmsys.c and mtk_drm_drv.c to identify the corresponding 
mmsys is vdosys0 or vdosys1.

Their driver data in mtk_drm_drv.c is defined here:
[v4,4/6] drm/mediatek: add mediatek-drm of vdosys0 support for mt8195

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20210723090233.24007-5-jason-jh.lin@mediatek.com/
[v2,14/14] drm/mediatek: add mediatek-drm of vdosys1 support for MT8195

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20210722094551.15255-15-nancy.lin@mediatek.com/

I think using the same compatible is unable to do this. Or do you have
other suggestions to do this with the same compatibe?
