Hi,

This improves perf on imx53 by adding support for enabling the Secure
Debug Enable Register (SDER) SUNIDEN bit. This unlocks new
functionality:

ppd before patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
                 0      instructions              #    0.00  insn per cycle

ppd  after patchset# perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 2>&1 | grep instructions
            177864      instructions              #    0.05  insn per cycle

Changes since PATCHV3:
 * Use readl_relaxed instead of __raw_readl (and the same for writel)
 * Drop final return in void function
 * Add Reviewed-by from Fabio to 2nd patch
Changes since PATCHv2:
 * Always enable GPC_DBG_EN when kernel configuration allows using perf
   to allow cleanup of the arm-pmu driver.
Changes since PATCHv1:
 * Update DTS patch to reference imx53.dtsi's pmu node
 * Remove a superfluous newline in first patch
