Hi,

This improves perf on imx53 by adding support for enabling the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit. This unlocks new
functionality:

ppd before patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
                 0      instructions              #    0.00  insn per cycle

ppd  after patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
            177864      instructions              #    0.05  insn per cycle
