I'll look at this from an architectural level and leave it to other
experts to review the more technical things.

These global variables aren't going to work because Tegra234 (Tegra194's
successor) has two instances of NVDLA. So this data needs to be
allocated dynamically, per instance. It also seems to me like some of
this data could be separated into read-only (i.e. const) and variable
data. For instance none of the function pointers ever seem to change, so
those could be refactored into an "ops" structure and then passed by
pointer into the engines. That might also be useful if we need to make
some of these implementations different on subsequent generations of the
IP.

Looking at the definition of these configuration structures these seem
to be software configuration variants rather than actually different
hardware blocks. In fact, none of the above seem to be specific to any
particular hardware version.

I would expect these compatible strings to reflect the exact chip that
they can be found in. I.e. for Tegra194 I would expect this to be just:

"nvidia,tegra194-dla"

And then on Tegra234 it would become:

"nvidia,tegra234-dla"

at which point the parameterization can happen based on that compatible
string, if we need to.

Also, and I think Peter Robinson already mentioned that, we'll need the
device tree bindings for this as well as device tree changes that create
this device on one of the platforms supported upstream so that we can
test this.

I think in your first version of these patches you had also made a
reference to the userspace driver component that you've used to test
this on. Can you include links to those in the cover letter of
subsequent versions so that people know where to look?

We generally don't use the sized types unless absolutely necessary. So
this (and potentially other occurrences) should just switch to simple
"int".

There's usually no need for this check. If there was no device tree
entry then the nvdla_probe() function wouldn't have been called.

Do we really need the platform device later on? Typically access to the
struct device (i.e. &pdev->dev) is enough.

You can get this in a single call to of_device_get_match_data(), so you
don't need the extra match local variable.

I think people prefer devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() these
days...

You can use platform_get_irq() here, which makes this a bit simpler.

Why the generic void *? Can't we just store a struct nvdla_device * as
the driver context directly? Do we expect this type to vary?

What I'm missing in this ->probe() function is references to the various
clocks, resets and power gates that need to be controlled in order for
this IP to work. The power gates are typically implemented using generic
power domains, so you can safely ignore those, provided you at least
have them in the device tree, but I think you'd need to at the very
least grab the clocks and resets that this needs. This might work
without them for a while because Tegra194 and later do some hidden magic
with clocks and resets, but for any finer-grained control we'll need
them (for instance, we will want to switch into a low-power state when
no tasks are being processed).
