Rob Herring (Arm) 17cdb54644 accel: ethosu: Add performance counter support
The Arm Ethos-U NPUs have a PMU with performance counters. The PMU h/w
supports up to 4 (U65) or 8 (U85) counters which can be programmed for
different events. There is also a dedicated cycle counter.

The ABI and implementation are copied from the V3D driver. The main
difference in the ABI is there is no query API for the event list. The
events differ between the U65 and U85, so the events lists are
maintained in userspace along with other differences between the U65 and
U85.

The cycle counter is always enabled when the PMU is enabled. When the
user requests N events, reading the counters will return the N events
plus the cycle counter.

v2:
 - Use XArray instead of idr
 - Rework locking to use per device spinlock to protect modifying active
   perfmon. Based on pending V3D changes:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260508-v3d-perfmon-lifetime-v1-1-f5b5642c085f@igalia.com/
 - Add missing perfmon puts in ethosu_ioctl_perfmon_set_global() and
   ethosu_ioctl_perfmon_get_values() error paths.
 - Fix reading number of counters on U85.
 - Add defines NPU_REG_PMCCNTR_CFG

v3:
 - Add explicit padding to drm_ethosu_perfmon_destroy
 - Fix SPDX license expression
 - Fix comment typos
 - Convert perfmon lock from spinlock to mutex
 - Simplify switch_perfmon condition check
 - Remove unused ethosu_perfmon_init
 - Add lockdep_assert_held to ethosu_perfmon_stop_locked

v4:
 - Use drmm_mutex_init() for perfmon lock
 - Add lockdep_assert_held() to ethosu_perfmon_start()
 - Fix a few style issues reported by Maíra
