Re: [PATCH v2] add pmu to amlogic meson sm1

[Benjamin Mordaunt]

Okay so this does appear to be behaving with some issues (unless I've
just got 2 of the interrupt numbers wrong, but it seems unlikely at
this stage).

CPUs 0 and 1 seem to be behaving somewhat sensibly, while `perf stat`
reports `<not supported>` for caches and branches with CPUs 2 and 3.
Would this suggest this implementation is indeed broken?

Thanks,
Ben
