Add driver async API
Add an asynchronous API to the driver. The current synchronous API is now using the new async API internally. The main new functions are ethosu_invoke_async() and ethosu_wait(). Every successfull call to ethosu_invoke_async() must be followed by a call to ethosu_wait() to get the status of the inference. The wait function can be called in a blocking or non-blocking mode by specifying the `block` argument to true/false. The regular synchronous invoke function is implemented as a invoke_async followed by a wait(block=true) call. Short sommary of changes: - Add an internal ethosu_job struct to keep track of inference data and job state. - Use async API in blocking mode for normal flow - Change default semaphore implementation to binary type - Move error prints out of interrupt context - Move ethosu_inference_begin() callback to right before HW invoke - Always call ethosu_inference_end() callback, even in case of errors - On NPU error, do not keep NPU powered after being reset Change-Id: If4c3c46e3c6732a669e17251bd848dea5765a490
