The UAPI no longer supports the buffer capacity, offset and resize
functionality. Instead, the UAPI now only accepts a fixed size given at
the creation of the buffer. This change was made because the features
were not used and made the buffer handling more complicated. The user
knows how big buffers they need for their networks so they don't need
resize support or partial buffer usage support by having separate size
and capacity with an offset.
Without these features, the buffer instance no longer needs any IOCTL
call support so it has been removed. However, to still be able to check
the size of a buffer from its file descriptor, seek support has been
implemented so lseek and similar functions can be used to get the size.
The driver library's clear function that previously only reset the size
and offset values of the buffer will now clear the buffer content
instead.
These are breaking changes so the Linux kernel NPU driver version and
the driver library version have been given major version bumps. All the
tests and other applications affected by these changes have been updated
accordingly.

Currently, the mailbox uses the rpmsg_send function to send messages,
which will block for up to 15 seconds if there is no TX buffer available
for the message. This is an issue because the device mutex is locked
while waiting and the receive callback for messages uses the same mutex
to prevent concurrent access so no received messages can be handled
while waiting for a TX buffer.
To resolve this, the mailbox has been changed to use the rpmsg_trysend
function, which will return directly if there is no TX buffer available,
together with a wait queue. While waiting in the queue to send the
message, the device mutex is released to not block the receive callback
and other users of the mutex.

To ensure that the Linux kernel NPU driver and the firmware used are
compatible, the NPU driver will now request and verify the protocol
version when setting up the device during the probing.

The IDR instance must be protected against concurrent access and the
device mutex in the kernel driver should be used to protect it. However,
the device mutex is not locked when an inference is released or when the
mailbox is cleared which means the IDR is not protected in these
instances.
To resolve this, the missing mutex locks have been added and the
functions using the IDR instance have been updated to make it clearer
that the device mutex is expected to be locked when called.

When the kernel driver handles incoming rpmsg messages, it uses the ID
in the message header to find the corresponding mailbox message. The
mailbox messages are stored as a generic message struct that is later
cast to the specific message type.
There is currently no type information stored in the generic message
struct so only the ID is used to distinguish between the mailbox
messages. This means if an incorrect ID is received that matches a
mailbox message with a different type, the kernel driver will cast the
message struct to the wrong type.
Type information has now been added to the generic message struct and
will be checked when trying to find the corresponding mailbox message so
both the ID and type must be correct to find a matching message.

Avoid to use pointers to kernel memory as identify messages, prior this
change, if memory is reused that can lead to unexpected conflicts.
Remove ref counting from capabilities and network_info since memory is
freed in only one place.
Finally, extract the capabilities code in its own files.

If an inference fails to be cancelled and it is still in a pending
state, reset the whole firmware. Indeed the assumption is that
something is at fault on the firmware side and it is not progressing.

Send cancel inference messages to the ethosu subsystem to abort
inference execution there. Also mark inference as aborted in the
linux driver stack itself, so pending inference messages are not
resent when resetting the firmware.

Reset the firmware if it becomes unresponsive. Use ping to send
keep alive requests.
Only monitor ping and inference request messages. The other messages
pass no resources to the firmware and can be cancelled without
resetting the firmware.
