ZHOUYI NPU is an AI accelerator chip which is integrated into ARM SOC,
such as Allwinner R329 SOC.
Add driver support for this AI accelerator here.

This driver is not tandard linux style, there are some clean up works,

"standard"?

will fix it

fixing code style, refactorring.
And it only works with a closed source usermode driver, so need to
reverse the libraries, and impelement it, then open source
the usermode driver.

Who will be doing the "reversing" of the usermode driver?

I will provide the library binary, also try to implement usermode code:)

We can't take this now if there's no actual users of this code that
anyone can test.  Why not just change the license of the usermode code
now to make this simpler?

Allwinner R329 board includes this ip core, I have one to test this
driver.
The usermode code is close, I just got an library.

Thanks
