There is no intension to do partitioning of the TADs. I have thrown some light on it as it is a point to be stressed upon.

Marvell has no plans of providing per-node pmu statistics on CN10k platforms.

As clarified above partitioning of TADs is ruled out and situation of exposing individual TADs inappropriate.
