The DT field of riscv,pmu for opensbi can be found on:
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/docs/pmu_support.md

The value can be found in the R1S0 version of C906 documentation:
https://dl.linux-sunxi.org/D1/Xuantie_C906_R1S0_User_Manual.pdf

The meaning of T-HEAD events can be found in this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/IA1PR20MB4953DD82D0116EC291C21777BBE2A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The patch above also provides documentation for T-HEAD events and a example
that shows how to use perf with T-HEAD events.
