Applied the hisi and smmu parts to will (for-next/perf), thanks!

[1/4] drivers/perf: hisi: Add identifier sysfs file
      https://git.kernel.org/will/c/ac4511c9364c
[...]
[4/4] perf/smmuv3: Support sysfs identifier file
      https://git.kernel.org/will/c/2c255223362e

I've completely lost track of the imx ddr PMU, so I dropped those parts
(patch 3/4 seemed to remove a compatible string from the driver?).
