[PATCH v8 12/12] arm64: dts: rockchip: rk3576-rock-4d: enable NPU

Enable rknn_core_0 and its IOMMU on the Radxa ROCK 4D, and hand
vdd_npu_s0 to the NPU power domain as its domain-supply, so the rail is
switched by the domain that gates the block.

Measured on a ROCK 4D with this in place. The rail's regulator debugfs
reports open_count 1, so the domain is the consumer that took it. A
sampler running beside an inference caught use_count at 1, and three
reads at rest report use_count 0 with the rail disabled, so it follows
the domain rather than staying on. Over the same run the genpd
active_time of all four NPU domains rises by roughly 60ms per inference,
and the inferences either side of that are 128 of 128 channels against
the CPU reference.

rknn_core_0 keeps npu-supply on the same rail, which the binding
requires. Only rknn_core_0 is enabled: the driver binds one core per
node and the second core is left to whoever can test it.
