Add driver support for ARM CoreSight PMU device and event attributes for NVIDIA implementation. The code is based on ARM Coresight PMU architecture and ACPI ARM Performance Monitoring Unit table (APMT) specification below: * ARM Coresight PMU: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0091/latest * APMT: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0117/latest Notes: * There is a concern on the naming of the PMU device. Currently the driver is probing "arm-coresight-pmu" device, however the APMT spec supports different kinds of CoreSight PMU based implementation. So it is open for discussion if the name can stay or a "generic" name is required.
