Dear kernel maintainers,

This submission is a kernel driver to support Intel(R) Gaussian & Neural
Accelerator (Intel(R) GNA). Intel(R) GNA is a PCI-based neural co-processor
available on multiple Intel platforms. AI developers and users can offload
continuous inference workloads to an Intel(R) GNA device in order to free
processor resources and save power. Noise reduction and speech recognition
are the examples of the workloads Intel(R) GNA deals with while its usage
is not limited to the two.

How does this compare with the "nnpi" driver being proposed here:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210513085725.45528-1-guy.zadicario@intel.com (local)

Please work with those developers to share code and userspace api and
tools.  Having the community review two totally different apis and
drivers for the same type of functionality from the same company is
totally wasteful of our time and energy.

thanks,

greg k-h

after consulting, we will try to share api and some kernel code
between the two drivers.

Following is the reference for more information:
