This series adds support for the Network Packet ACcelerator (NPAC) client driver. NPAC is a hardware accelerator for offloading packet processing tasks from the various hosts on TI's TDA5 family of SoCs.
This is a minimal reference implementation to establish the framework for NPAC acceleration support in the Linux kernel. Further details are in patch 1 which adds documentation for the driver and describes the system architecture, driver interface, and execution flows. This RFC is submitted for getting feedback on the initial implementation.
