[PATCH v2 18/19] accel: ethosu: Validate OFM transpose
From: Rob Herring (Arm)
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 20:50:46 EST
U85 OFM dimensions are specified before transposition, while
tile bases and strides address the transposed feature map. Permute
the output endpoint before validating its tile and stride accesses.
Allow the defined U85 transpose encodings and reject the two
reserved encodings.
