In fact, it is only used in our testcase for now, which needs to know the real version the
chip has implemented, as these is no other way to get the info now. So i added it in the
probe message in v1 at first.

Especially we use the of_device_id "arm,statistical-profiling-extension-v1" and the
platform_device_id "arm,spe-v1". It's a little weird to ARMv8.3-SPE.

Further more i am wondering if we need to add the 'spe-v2' device_id. If not, i think it's
broken on a big.LITTLE system [1] as we can register only one device and the driver will work
incorrectly if the big and LITTLE cores have different version of SPE.

If add, we may really support two instance. Even two different versions of SPE pmus which work
on different range of cores with the same PPI. Their functional scopes are the same as the PPI
partitions. Exporting the version is not needed as we can get it from the device_id.

Thanks,
Wei
