Since the downstream driver uses NNCoreCount or the TP_Engine feature
bit to tell if a core is a NPU, I think we should add the NNCoreCount
field to the HWDB to be able to do the same.

Also I would like to see a notice printed into the kernel log that we
instantiated the driver on a NPU core and show it as experimental, as
I'm not sure if our UAPI covers all things that are needed for NPU
operation. I wouldn't want to break our basic assumption that the
kernel driver is in charge of cleaning write caches when switching
contexts and event management, which might require some UAPI additions
to work with the NPU accelerator programming model.

Regards,
Lucas
