This generally looks fine; I have a few comments below.

Nit: please follow the preferred coding style for comments. This should have a
newline immediately after the '/*', e.g.

	/*
	 * Marvell PEM(PCIe RC) Performance Monitor Driver
	 *
	 * Copyright (C) 2023 Marvell.
	 */

Likewise for all other multi-line comments.

I assume the event IDs are the values in the pem_events enum, so please use
array initalizers here to make that clear, e.g.

	static u64 eventid_to_offset_table[] = {
		[IB_TLP_NPR]	= 0x0,
		[IB_TLP_PR]	= 0x8,
		[IB_TLP_CPL]	 0x10,
		...
	};

[...]

Don't we also need to check for:

	event->attach_state & PERF_ATTACH_TASK

Please delete this dev_info().

Likewise, please delete this dev_warn().

Please fix this comment style (or delete the comment).

Thanks,
