Using the DRM GPU scheduler infrastructure, with a scheduler for each
core.
Userspace can decide for a series of tasks to be executed sequentially
in the same core, so SRAM locality can be taken advantage of.
The job submission code was initially based on Panfrost.
v2:
- Remove hardcoded number of cores
- Misc. style fixes (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Repack IOCTL struct (Jeffrey Hugo)
v3:
- Adapt to a split of the register block in the DT bindings (Nicolas
Frattaroli)
- Make use of GPL-2.0-only for the copyright notice (Jeff Hugo)
- Use drm_* logging functions (Thomas Zimmermann)
- Rename reg i/o macros (Thomas Zimmermann)
- Add padding to ioctls and check for zero (Jeff Hugo)
- Improve error handling (Nicolas Frattaroli)
v6:
- Use mutexes guard (Markus Elfring)
- Use u64_to_user_ptr (Jeff Hugo)
- Drop rocket_fence (Rob Herring)
v7:
- Assign its own IOMMU domain to each client, for isolation (Daniel
Stone and Robin Murphy)
v8:
- Use reset lines to reset the cores (Robin Murphy)
- Use the macros to compute the values for the bitfields (Robin Murphy)
- More descriptive name for the IRQ (Robin Murphy)
- Simplify job interrupt handing (Robin Murphy)
- Correctly acquire a reference to the IOMMU (Robin Murphy)
- Specify the size of the embedded structs in the IOCTLs for future
extensibility (Rob Herring)
- Expose only 32 bits for the address of the regcmd BO (Robin Murphy)

This initial version supports the NPU as shipped in the RK3588 SoC and
described in the first part of its TRM, in Chapter 36.
This NPU contains 3 independent cores that the driver can submit jobs
to.
This commit adds just hardware initialization and power management.
v2:
- Split cores and IOMMUs as independent devices (Sebastian Reichel)
- Add some documentation (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Be more explicit in the Kconfig documentation (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Remove resets, as these haven't been found useful so far (Zenghui Yu)
- Repack structs (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Use DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Use devm_drm_dev_alloc (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Use probe log helper (Jeffrey Hugo)
- Introduce UABI header in a later patch (Jeffrey Hugo)
v3:
- Adapt to a split of the register block in the DT bindings (Nicolas
Frattaroli)
- Move registers header to its own commit (Thomas Zimmermann)
- Misc. cleanups (Thomas Zimmermann and Jeff Hugo)
- Make use of GPL-2.0-only for the copyright notice (Jeff Hugo)
- PM improvements (Nicolas Frattaroli)
v4:
- Use bulk clk API (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
v6:
- Remove mention to NVDLA, as the hardware is only incidentally related
(Kever Yang)
- Use calloc instead of GFP_ZERO (Jeff Hugo)
- Explicitly include linux/container_of.h (Jeff Hugo)
- pclk and npu clocks are now needed by all cores (Rob Herring)
v7:
- Assign its own IOMMU domain to each client, for isolation (Daniel
Stone and Robin Murphy)
v8:
- Kconfig: fix depends to be more explicit about Rockchip, and remove
superfluous selects (Robin Murphy)
- Use reset lines to reset the cores (Robin Murphy)
- Reference count the module
- Set dma_set_max_seg_size
- Correctly acquire a reference to the IOMMU (Robin Murphy)
- Remove notion of top core (Robin Murphy)
