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)
