[PATCH] ARM: dts: microchip: sama7d65: add Cortex-A7 PMU node

From: Mihai Sain

Date: Mon Jan 26 2026 - 08:14:35 EST


Add the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) node with the appropriate
compatible string, interrupt line, and affinity so that perf and other
PMU‑based tooling can function correctly on this SoC.

[root@SAMA7D65 ~]$ dmesg | grep -i pmu
[ 1.487869] hw-perfevents: enabled with armv7_cortex_a7 PMU driver, 5 (8000000f) counters available

[root@SAMA7D65 ~]$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
bus-cycles [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
