We are planning to implement two different ML drivers, ml/cnxk driver (submitted for review) and a software only driver (part of ML roadmap and currently WIP). Both the drivers would be using these common functions for quantization and dequantization. Hence, placed the files in common/ml directory. Moreover, these functions are used to convert data from higher to lower precision or vice-versa and can also be used by future ML drivers for other platforms. > > > drivers/common/meson.build | 1 + > > drivers/common/ml/meson.build | 25 + > > drivers/common/ml/ml_utils.c | 118 ++++ > > drivers/common/ml/ml_utils.h | 283 +++++++++ > > drivers/common/ml/ml_utils_neon.c | 873 > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > drivers/common/ml/ml_utils_scalar.c | 720 +++++++++++++++++++++++ > > drivers/common/ml/version.map | 25 + > >
