Code Review

This pull request updates the README file to include Axera NPU in the list of supported NPUs. The change is simple, but there is a minor formatting issue with the new Markdown table. I have provided a suggestion to improve the table's alignment and maintain consistency with the document's style.

[gemini-code-assist]

The new table for Axera NPU has only one column, which is inconsistent with the three-column table for other NPUs above it. To maintain a consistent layout, please expand this table to three columns, leaving the last two empty. This will improve the visual alignment and is consistent with how other lists are broken into multiple tables in this file.
