[PATCH 0/7] Add a DRM driver to support AI Processing Unit (APU)

This adds a DRM driver that implements communication between the CPU and an
APU. The driver target embedded device that usually run inference using some
prebuilt models. The goal is to provide common infrastructure that could be
re-used to support many accelerators. Both kernel, userspace and firmware tries
to use standard and existing to leverage the development and maintenance effort.
The series implements two platform drivers, one for simulation and another one for
the mt8183 (compatible with mt8365).

For the people interested by the firmware or userspace library,
the sources are available here:
https://gitlab.baylibre.com/baylibre/libapu/libapu

The support of APU has to be upstreamed to libdrm.
Until this is done, you could find the source here:

The driver for mt8183 depends on this series (which is currently blocked):
