This patch adds the PMU device tree node for APM X-Gene Storm SOC.

Please note that this patch has dependancy on a GIC driver patch [1] which is
yet to be approved by maintainers.

No matter if Feng Kan's gic patch is applied or not, perf(PMU)
still can't work well with your patch, and the failure[1] will be
triggered when 'perf top' is started.

The failure happened during the 1st pmu overflow interrupt.

I test several mustang boards, and all has the problem with
upstream kernel.

Note that the GIC bypass register config is set by the firmware and this
only preserves the original setting, so you could be running an older
firmware (such as U-Boot). On our (UEFI-enabled systems, complete with
correct patch) perf top runs correctly without any such problems.

We are using U-Boot 2013.04-mustang_sw_1.11.06-beta_rc (Feb 03 2014 -
09:10:17), looks not very old.

Do you know how to check if the GIC bypass register config is correct
inside kernel?

Thanks,
