Hi John,

Tested from branch: private-topic-perf-5.7-sys-pmu-events-v2

DDR events test is okay on both 8MM and 8QM.

However, it seems that there are small defects from metric.

Firstly, could you help change "ScaleUnit": "9.765625e-4MB" into "ScaleUnit": "9.765625e-4KB", this is a mistake.

Then, you can see that test is okay from 8MM. However, metric would add twice once time from 8QM which has two ddr perf(ddr0/ddr1), it looks incorrect.

8MM:
