So, of course I spot discussion after having hit the merge
button[1]. Maybe I should care/look closer at all the NPU2 things?
(it'd help if there was a sane way to test things that I could plug into
op-test)

Any recommendation what I should do from here, is keeping the patch okay?

[1] not an actual button.
