The commit c47a5599eda3 ("perf tools: Fix pattern matching for same

possibly a numeric on arm64.
I wouldn't just say arm64. The core code should support matching
multiple tokens, but it just so happens that only arm64 uses it.
For example, perf_pmu__valid_suffix("hisi_sccl3_l3c7", "hisi_sccl")
fails. "hisi_sccl3_l3c7" is pmu name and "hisi_sccl" is token.
"hisi_sccl" is followed by a digit but not followed by a '_'
('3' in this example).
Since the PMU alias format on arm64 has difference than the format
on x86. Create a x86 specific perf_pmu__valid_suffix. For other arch,
the weak function always returns true to keep original behavior
unchanged.

I tend not to agree with this solution. Let's not make it x86 vs non-x86
problem. Indeed, if we continue to support custom PMU alias matching
per-arch, then it becomes a maintenance burden.
So this change fixes my initial problem:

Subject: [PATCH] perf pmu: Only check valid suffix for final token
Since commit 730670b1d108 ("perf pmu: Support more complex PMU event
aliasing"), matching multiple alias tokens has been supported.
However, commit c47a5599eda32 ("perf tools: Fix pattern matching for
same substring in different PMU type"), ignored the possibility of
multiple tokens, and assumed that we can only match on valid suffix and
a single token.
Fix multiple token support by only checking valid suffix from final token.

Please check it.
I need to check the other place perf_pmu__valid_suffix() is referenced
(perf_pmu__match()) to see if anything is broken there.
Thanks,
