Xilinx AI engine array can be partitioned statically for different
applications. In the device tree, there will be device node for the AI
engine device, and device nodes for the statically configured AI engine
partitions. Each of the statically configured partition has a partition
ID in the system.

+description: |+
+  The Xilinx AI Engine is a tile processor with many cores (up to 400) that
+  can run in parallel. The data routing between cores is configured through
+  internal switches, and shim tiles interface with external interconnect, such
+  as memory or PL.

+      AI engine partition which is a group of column based tiles of the AI
+      engine device. Each AI engine partition is isolated from the other
+      AI engine partitions. An AI engine partition is defined by Xilinx
+      platform design tools. Each partition has a SHIM row and core tiles rows.
+      A SHIM row contains SHIM tiles which are the interface to external
+      components. AXI master can access AI engine registers, push data to and
+      fetch data from AI engine through the SHIM tiles. Core tiles are the
+      compute tiles.

+          device node's '#address-cells' and '#size-cells' properties. e.g. a v1
+          AI engine device has 2D tiles array, the first row is SHIM row. A
+          partition which has 50 columns and 8 rows of core tiles and 1 row of
+          SHIM tiles will be presented as <0 0 50 9>.
