SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================ +Ampere SoC Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) +============================================ + +Ampere SoC PMU is a generic PMU IP that follows Arm CoreSight PMU architecture. +Therefore, the driver is implemented as a submodule of arm_cspmu driver.
