Hi all,
As you may know, in recent years we have observed an increase of processing units dedicated to AI/ML provided by various vendors. They are usually accesssible under /dev/UNIT_NAME and to gain access to it in strict mode, we require a new interface. Unfortunately, there is little standartization at the time for the names of these units (see this DLP table), so we can't give access to the entire family of devices using a single interface (like it does for fpgas).
This is a WIP MR aiming to add an interface for Meditek APU (AI Processing Unit)
(more info on specific mediatek device and APU)
