[PATCH v4 0/7] New DRM accel driver for Intel VPU

Hi,

This patchset contains a new Linux* Kernel Driver for Intel® VPUs.

VPU stands for Versatile Processing Unit and it is an AI inference accelerator
integrated with Intel non-server CPUs starting from 14th generation.
VPU enables efficient execution of Deep Learning applications
like object detection, classification etc.

The whole driver is licensed under GPL-2.0-only except for two headers imported
from the firmware that are MIT licensed.

User mode driver stack consists of Level Zero API driver and OpenVINO plugin.
Both should be open-sourced in December.
The firmware for the VPU will be distributed as a closed source binary.

Most significant change in this version is a switch to the new accel framework.
Besides that there are a lot of changes from v3 review described in detail below.

Regards,
Jacek

Changelog

v4:
- Switch to the accel framework (DRIVER_COMPUTE_ACCEL)
- Move the driver from drivers/gpu/drm to drivers/accel
- Rename kconfig DRM_IVPU option to DRM_ACCEL_IVPU and update dependencies
- Create context on open() instead of lazy allocating it
- Remove status_offset from submit ioctl, as status is now reported in bo_wait ioctl
- Use managed resources in ivpu_drv.c
- Optimize locking in ivpu_ipc.c - add new rx_msg_lock for consumer msg list
- Refactor vpu_hw_mtl_reg.h to use BIT_MASK() and GENMASK() macros
- Use module_pci_driver() for mudule init
- Remove mutex from "struct ivpu_pm_info"
- Add explicit "vdev" arg to ivpu_dbg()
- Use drm_WARN_ON() instead of WARN_ON() where possible
- Add comments for boot related functions
- Update firmware API headers

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220924151149.323622-1-jacek.lawrynowicz@linux.intel.com/
- Fixed alignment warning in ivpu_ipc.c when building with W=1

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220913121017.993825-1-jacek.lawrynowicz@linux.intel.com/
- Rename the driver from "drm/vpu" to "drm/ivpu"
- Add a TODO file
- Add support for WC buffers
