    accel/ethosu: reject NPU_OP_RESIZE commands from userspace

    commit ef911805d86a05363d3ec2fa9835a41def83bb7e upstream.

    NPU_OP_RESIZE is a U85-only command that the driver does not yet
    implement. The existing WARN_ON(1) placeholder fires unconditionally
    whenever userspace submits this command via DRM_IOCTL_ETHOSU_GEM_CREATE,
    causing unbounded kernel log spam.

    If panic_on_warn is set the kernel panics, giving any unprivileged user
    with access to the DRM device a trivial denial-of-service primitive.

    Replace the WARN_ON(1) with an explicit -EINVAL return so the ioctl
    rejects the command before it reaches hardware.
