This is a very unusual sysfs attribute.
They are supposed to be one "thing" per file, so I'd have expected this to
be at least two files

root_ports_available_filters
request_available_filters
and no available filter is indicated by these attribute returning an empty
string.

However you need to match convention for hwtracing drivers so if
this is common approach perhaps you could point me to a similar
example? My grep skills didn't find me one.

This check is not entirely obvious to me. Perhaps a comment would help
readers understand why this condition is successful, but doesn't involve
actually starting the pmu?

Given I think this exposes userspace interfaces, it should be the very
last thing done in probe(). Otherwise we have a race condition (at least in
theory) where someone starts using it before we then fail the iommu mapping check.
