[PATCH v17 1/3] dt-bindings: perf: Add Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU definition

Add device tree bindings for the Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU block
found on BCM2835, BCM2711, and BCM2712 SoCs.

The hardware exposes two MMIO register blocks: the primary monitor
evaluates the System fabric and the secondary monitor evaluates the
VideoCore VPU fabric.

+description:
+  The Broadcom BCM2835 series (including BCM2711 and BCM2712) features hardware
+  performance monitors on the AXI bus for evaluating memory bandwidth and
+  system traffic. Two monitor register blocks are present: the primary monitor
+  evaluates the System fabric, while the secondary monitor evaluates the
+  VideoCore VPU fabric. This block is distinct from the BCM5301X AXI Trace
+  Module.
