Actually, the argument in perf_pmu_register is about the pmu instance
name rather than the driver name.
Both legacy & SBI PMU drivers are just ways to access the "cpu" pmu instance.

In future we may have separate drivers for counter delegation
extensions that won't use the SBI PMU extension
at all for supported hardware. However, the PMU would still be cpu pmu.

There will be different SoC PMU drivers which will have different
names because it will represent SoC PMU instead of cpu pmu.
