> 
> Add driver support for ARM CoreSight PMU device and event attributes for
> NVIDIA
> implementation. The code is based on ARM Coresight PMU architecture and
> ACPI ARM
> Performance Monitoring Unit table (APMT) specification below:
>  * ARM Coresight PMU:
>         https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0091/latest
>  * APMT: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0117/latest
> 
> Notes:
>  * There is a concern on the naming of the PMU device.
>    Currently the driver is probing "arm-coresight-pmu" device, however the
> APMT
>    spec supports different kinds of CoreSight PMU based implementation. So
> it is
>    open for discussion if the name can stay or a "generic" name is required.

> The patchset applies on top of
>   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
>   master next-20220524
> 
> Changes from v2:
>  * Driver is now probing "arm-system-pmu" device.
>  * Change default PMU naming to "arm_<APMT node type>_pmu".
>  * Add implementor ops to generate custom name.
> Thanks to suzuki.poulose at arm.com for the review comments.
> 
> Changes from v1:
>  * Remove CPU arch dependency.
>  * Remove 32-bit read/write helper function and just use read/writel.
>  * Add .is_visible into event attribute to filter out cycle counter event.
>  * Update pmiidr matching.
>  * Remove read-modify-write on PMCR since the driver only writes to
> PMCR.E.
>  * Assign default cycle event outside the 32-bit PMEVTYPER range.
>  * Rework the active event and used counter tracking.
> Thanks to robin.murphy at arm.com for the review comments.
