The Arm Ethos-U65/85 NPUs are designed for edge AI inference 
applications[0].

The driver works with Mesa Teflon. WIP support is available here[1]. The 
UAPI should also be compatible with the downstream driver stack[2] and 
Vela compiler though that has not been implemented.

Testing so far has been on i.MX93 boards with Ethos-U65. Support for U85 
is still todo. Only minor changes on driver side will be needed for U85 
support.

A git tree is here[3].
