This patch adds DT binding documentation not the driver itself.

Same comment for the patch summary line.

It can be improved by changing ordering, i.e.

: PPMU of Exynos4 SoC is used to profile performance event of DMC (Dynamic
Memory Controller) so the driver can check memory bus utilization.

if using Exynos4x12 SoC
