2023-02-02Create device for Ethos-U kernel driverKristofer Jonsson
When the Ethos-U kernel driver is probed it creates a /dev/ethosu<nr> device node, which user space use ioctl to communicate with. When the driver is removed the Ethos-U resources must live on until all open file handles have been closed. The rpmsg device can be removed for a number of reasons, for example if the firmware is stopped or the remoteproc driver is removed. To allow the remove to complete without waiting for all file handles to close, a new 'struct device' is created by the kernel driver. This device will be used to memory allocations and will live on until the last file handle has been closed. Change-Id: I790d8219960f25fe64f58c11a865eb65c7b08974
2023-02-02Break circulare dependency on struct ethosu_deviceKristofer Jonsson
The 'struct ethosu_device' has been passed as argument to classes. This creates a circular dependency dependency and it gives all classes full visibility to all resources in the device struct. This patch removes the circular dependency. Using device_lock() and device_unlock() to for synchronization. Change-Id: I8322e6530c72d7bd67f48f411b4f14b612be2706
2023-02-02Converting Ethos-U driver to rpmsgKristofer Jonsson
The Ethos-U kernel driver has been converted from a platform driver with a custom firmware interface into a rpmsg driver. Change-Id: I9ae449f5e79eb02924e6630611d0893e5fec86be

Support referencing a network model by index that has been built into the firmware binary. Change-Id: Idd5294376ea82503dfeafe1203dcc0694d296dfe
2021-10-18Use minor number for device nodeKristofer Jonsson
Allocate a range of minor numbers and use the minor number as index when creating the /dev/ethosu<nr> device node. Change-Id: I76c2a3995ff5087e42a4e95945eb884a4bfb58f6
