Hi,

As it's the middle of the merge window, it will be a while before this
sees a full review. In future, it would be better to wait until -rc1
before posting new patches (appropriately rebased).

I did spot one thing however.

In current dts, "cavium,thunder" is used as the CPU compatible string.

Please decide whether you want to call the CPU "Thunder", or
"Thunder-X", and ensure that all compatible strings are consistent.

Please also ansure that any related names exposes to userspace (i.e.
e.g. the PMU name) follow this consistent naming.

Thanks,
Mark.
