Hi Namhyung,

Yes, patch 2-4 depend on patch 1.

The main purpose of patch 1 is to add an identifier so that the Compat
field can match the corresponding event when defining aliases or metrics
for events.

For example, "Unit" can match "ali_drw" in the name and different SoCs may
be able to match ali_drw, but they may have different events, and even if
the events are the same, the meanings may be different. Therefore, the
Compat field is needed to match the Identifier to confirm which type and
revision of PMU the current SoC has. Therefore, both "Unit" and "Compat"
need to be matched at the same time. Although it seems that ali_drw is
redundantly matched currently, it is meaningful for future expansion.

Thanks,
Jing
