OK, i will rename it in v2.

What if we use these new bits on the system which just support ARMv8.2-SPE?
It will return success and never work, i don't think that is suitable.

We may need this as then we can know which events are supported. It is meaningful to testcases.
So i will expose it as cap attribute in v2.

The of_compatible of SPE PMU is "arm,statistical-profiling-extension-v1", and the platform_device
name is "arm,spe-v1". Should we add a "v2" entry for ARMv8.3-SPE or not?

Thanks for your time.
