The changes in this patch has been included in the patch [1].

So my summary for patches 02 ~ 05, except patch 04, other changes has
been included in the patch set "perf arm-spe: Refactor decoding &
dumping flow".

I'd like to add your patch 04 into the patch set "perf arm-spe:
Refactor decoding & dumping flow" and I will respin the patch set v2 on
the latest perf/core branch and send out to review.

For patch 01, you could continue to try to land it in the kernel.
(Maybe consolidate a bit with Wei?).

Do you think this is okay for you?

Thanks,
Leo
