Hmm, I'd really rather this information came via the DT. In fact, you could
just drop the branch event from your main map_event_function and keep things
simple. It depends how badly you want to advertise it in perf list :)
Not every version of Krait is missing support for this event, so I'd
like to keep it so things like perf stat show branch counts. How about I
add a bool property to the pmu node indicating that this PMU is missing
support for the PC write events? Something like "no-pc-write"?
Perhaps, although I think it should be qualcomm-specific, so something like
"qcom,krait-no-pc-write"? Again, I'd be glad to hear something from a DT
reviewer on this.
