Contains everything that's FW related, that includes the code dealing with the microcontroller unit (MCU) that's running the FW, and anything related to allocating memory shared between the FW and the CPU. A few global FW events are processed in the IRQ handler, the rest is forwarded to the scheduler, since scheduling is the primary reason for the FW existence, and also the main source of FW <-> kernel interactions. v6: - Add Maxime's and Heiko's acks - Keep header inclusion alphabetically ordered v5: - Fix typo in GLB_PERFCNT_SAMPLE definition - Fix unbalanced panthor_vm_idle/active() calls - Fallback to a slow reset when the fast reset fails - Add extra information when reporting a FW boot failure v4: - Add a MODULE_FIRMWARE() entry for gen 10.8 - Fix a wrong return ERR_PTR() in panthor_fw_load_section_entry() - Fix typos - Add Steve's R-b v3: - Make the FW path more future-proof (Liviu) - Use one waitqueue for all FW events - Simplify propagation of FW events to the scheduler logic - Drop the panthor_fw_mem abstraction and use panthor_kernel_bo instead - Account for the panthor_vm changes - Replace magic number with 0x7fffffff with ~0 to better signify that it's the maximum permitted value. - More accurate rounding when computing the firmware timeout. - Add a 'sub iterator' helper function. This also adds a check that a firmware entry doesn't overflow the firmware image. - Drop __packed from FW structures, natural alignment is good enough. - Other minor code improvements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
