+Common interfaces for Visconti IPA Drivers
+==========================================
+
+file operation
+==============
+
+IPA driver expose thair function to userspace with device files.
+
+* The device file has specific name, such as /dev/dnn0
+* device file provides some operations
+
+ - open / close
+ - two ioctls operations to control IPA
+ - poll to wait for the finish of IPA
+
+IOCTLs
+======
+
+All IPA drivers have following two IOCTL requests.
+See individual documents of IPA drivers for detail.
+
+.. c:macro:: IOC_IPA_START
+
+starts IPA processing.
+
+.. c:macro:: IOC_IPA_GET_STATUS
+
+get the status of IPA driver
+
+IPA Addresses
+=============
+
+IPA drivers assume that the buffers for IPA HW processing are DMA-BUF
+which are phisically contiguous memory block allocated with DMA-BUF heaps.
+The heap area is defined with a reserved-memory element in device tree description.
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt for further information.
+
+Two structures are used to describe DMA-BUF instances.
+
+* :c:type:`drv_ipa_buffer_info`
+* :c:type:`drv_ipa_addr`
+
+Note that allocation size of DMA-BUF instances should be power of two.
+This is mainly because IOMMUs have very limited number of entries for translation.
+
+
+drv_ipa_buffer_info
+-------------------
+
+Information about the buffer allocated with DMA-BUF heaps.
+Applications specify the array of drv_ipa_buffer_info to the driver.
+
+drv_ipa_addr
+------------
+
+Application specify the region to be processed with two information; index for the array of drv_ipa_buffer_info and offset.
+
+.. c:macro:: IPA_INVALID_ADDR
+
+When a buffer is an optional parameter for an API, application can use :c:macro:`IPA_INVALID_ADDR` instead of NULL.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct drv_ipa_addr null_addr = IPA_INVALID_ADDR;
+
+Code exampe
+-----------
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* hogehoge */
+ /* hogehoge */
+
+Structures
+==========
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/soc/visconti/uapi/ipa.h
+
+Further description of addressing
+=================================
+
+DRAM addressing space
+---------------------
+
+Visconti5 (TMPV770x) SoCs have 2 DDR controllers.
+Each space for a controller is mapped in 36bit address space as follows:
+
+* DDR0: 0x0_8000_0000 - 0x0_FFFF_FFFF
+* DDR1: 0x8_8000_0000 - 0x8_FFFF_FFFF
+
+IPAs have dedicated IOMMUs (visconti ioatu) which translate 32bit IOVA to 36bit physical address.
+Note that address registers of IPA core hardware only accept 32bit values.
+When IOMMUs are absent (by removing their description from device tree), DDR1 address must not be used for IPA.
+
+Coherent access among CPUs / IPAs
+---------------------------------
+
+Bus master of IPAs has two connections; direct access to DRAM and cache-coherent connection with CPU clusters.
+The bit 34 of 64bit address is used to distinguish direct access or coherent acccess.
+
+* DDR0 (direct): 0x0_8000_0000 - 0x0_FFFF_FFFF
+* DDR0 (coherent): 0x4_8000_0000 - 0x4_FFFF_FFFF
+* DDR1 (direct): 0x8_8000_0000 - 0x8_FFFF_FFFF
+* DDR1 (coherent): 0xC_8000_0000 - 0xC_FFFF_FFFF
+
+If the whole system should run coherent mode, make following changes in device tree description:
+
+* set coherent address for all memory and reserved-memory elements
+* set dma_coherent property to all IPA elements
+
+It is strongly recommended not to use both direct and coherent address at the same time.

+=======================
+Visconti DNN IPA driver
+=======================
+
+Hardware overview
+=================
+
+Visconti DNN IPA is a proprietary CNN/DCNN accelerator developed by Toshiba.
+This IPA integrates large scaled parallel MAC units and dedicated function units to accelerate
+inference operation of well known neural network layers. It also has dedicated DMA unit to make accesses to DRAM.
+Visconti5 SoC has 2 instances of DNN accelerator hardware.
+
+WORDS:
+
+* IPA: Image Processing Accelerator
+* CNN: Convolutional Neural Network
+* DCNN: Deep Convolutional Neural Network
+
+Software architecture
+=====================
+
+The operation of Visconti DNN IPA depends on some software components including this kernel driver.
+Some extra components are provided by Toshiba Electronic Device & Storage Company (at Jul 2022).
+
+* libdrvutil: userspace utility to build a descriptor for a NN inference operation.
+* compiler: offline tool to generate configuration binaries from caffe/onnx compatible CNN models.
+
+The Visconti DNN IPA driver receives a configuration binary and an input vector then configures hardware registers.
+Register values suitable for each run is held in a descriptor data structure generated by libdrvutil.
+
+The userland and the kernel driver use DMA-BUF to allocate/handle (phisically contiguous) memory blocks.
+
+Public user interface of Visconti DNN IPA driver is exposed as following device files.
+
+* DNN0: /dev/dnn0
+* DNN1: /dev/dnn1
+
