Yes.

Below steps will repeat the failure.

$ cd tools/
$ rm perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64/freescale/imx8mm/sys/ddrc.json
$ make clean
$ make JEVENTS_ARCH=all perf

pmu-events/pmu-events.c:76586:26: error: ‘struct pmu_metrics_table’ has no member named ‘entries’
76586 |                         .entries = pmu_metrics__freescale_imx8mm_sys,
      |                          ^~~~~~~
pmu-events/pmu-events.c:76587:26: error: ‘struct pmu_metrics_table’ has no member named ‘length’
76587 |                         .length = ARRAY_SIZE(pmu_metrics__freescale_imx8mm_sys)
      |                          ^~~~~~

If only metric table exists, then this error may occur.

Thanks,
