This patch adds gpu support on devices with a523 processor.

Since there is no support for image output yet, it may be difficult to confirm
functionality. This can be done by running weston with vnc access using
the command:
$ weston --renderer=gl --backend=vnc --disable-transport-layer-security
--xwayland --width=640 --height=480

After that I was able to run glmark2 with a terrain result of 30 fps,
while I can see that there is a load on the GPU in nvtop and the CPU remains
unloaded.

Tested on x96qproplus and walnutpi 2b devices.

Based on v6.16-rc5 with patches:
