[PATCH v19 1/3] dt-bindings: perf: Add Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU definition
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 03:03:09 EST
Add device tree bindings for the Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU block
found on BCM2835, BCM2711, and BCM2712 SoCs.
The hardware exposes two MMIO register blocks: the primary monitor
evaluates the System fabric and the secondary monitor evaluates the
VideoCore VPU fabric.

+description:
+ The Broadcom BCM2835 series (including BCM2711 and BCM2712) features hardware
+ performance monitors on the AXI bus for evaluating memory bandwidth and
+ system traffic. Two monitor register blocks are present, with the primary
+ monitor evaluating the System fabric and the secondary monitor evaluating the
+ VideoCore VPU fabric. This block is distinct from the BCM5301X AXI Trace
+ Module.
