* ARM Performance Monitor Units

ARM cores often have a PMU for counting cpu and cache events like cache misses
and hits. The interface to the PMU is part of the ARM ARM. The ARM PMU
representation in the device tree should be done as under:-

Required properties:

- compatible : should be one of
	"arm,cortex-a9-pmu"
	"arm,cortex-a8-pmu"
	"arm,arm1176-pmu"
	"arm,arm1136-pmu"
- interrupts : 1 combined interrupt or 1 per core.

Example:

pmu {
        compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu";
        interrupts = <100 101>;
};
