[PATCH 15/16] perf tools: Allow multiple read formats

[Adrian Hunter]

Tools find the correct evsel, and therefore read format, using the event
ID, so it isn't necessary for all read formats to be the same. In the case
of leader-sampling of AUX area events, dummy tracking events will have
a different read format, so relax the validation to become a debug message
only.
