[PATCH v2 01/19] accel: ethosu: Suspend after initialization

From: Rob Herring (Arm)

Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 20:44:17 EST


The initial runtime-PM reference is held only while initializing the
NPU. Release it synchronously from ethosu_init() after the final
hardware access, before registering the DRM device.

This keeps the runtime-PM setup and initial reference handling together
and leaves the autosuspend configuration in place for subsequent jobs.
