[PATCH v3] dt-bindings: riscv: add SBI PMU event mappings

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

The SBI PMU extension requires a firmware to be aware of the event to
counter/mhpmevent mappings supported by the hardware. OpenSBI may use
DeviceTree to describe the PMU mappings. This binding is currently
described in markdown in OpenSBI (since v1.0 in Dec 2021) & used by QEMU
since v7.2.0.

Import the binding for use while validating dtb dumps from QEMU and
upcoming hardware (eg JH7110 SoC) that will make use of the event
mapping.

Changes in v3:
- align descriptions to SBI spec (and fix a misinterpretation of mine)
- switch to a nested items description, since the descriptions are for
  the elements of each entry, not the entries themselves

Changes in v2:
- use the schema mechanism for dependancies between properties
- +CC perf maintainers...
- move the matrix element descriptions into regular item descriptions
  rather than doing so freeform in the property description
- drop some description text that no longer applies since changes were
  made to the SBI spec
- drop mention of the "generic platform" which is OpenSBI specific
- drop the min/max items from the matrices, they don't appear to be
  needed?

Note:
OpenSBI is BSD-2-Clause licensed so I am unsure as to whether I can
submit it with a dual license.

+description: |
+  SBI PMU extension supports allow supervisor software to configure, start &
+  stop any performance counter at anytime. Thus, a user can leverage full
+  capability of performance analysis tools such as perf if the SBI PMU
+  extension is enabled. The OpenSBI implementation makes the following
+  assumptions about the hardware platform:
+
+    The platform must provide information about PMU event to counter mapping
+    via device tree or platform specific hooks. Otherwise, the SBI PMU
+    extension will not be enabled.
+
+    The platforms should provide information about the PMU event selector
+    values that should be encoded in the expected value of MHPMEVENTx while
+    configuring MHPMCOUNTERx for that specific event. This can be done via a
+    device tree or platform specific hooks. The exact value to be written to
+    the MHPMEVENTx is completely dependent on the platform.
+
+    For information on the SBI specification see the section "Performance
+    Monitoring Unit Extension" of:
+      https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/blob/master/riscv-sbi.adoc
