+* ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU) Performance Monitor Unit (PMU)
+
+ARM DyanmIQ Shared Unit (DSU) integrates one or more CPU cores
+with a shared L3 memory system, control logic and external interfaces to
+form a multicore cluster. The PMU enables to gather various statistics on
+the operations of the DSU. The PMU provides independent 32bit counters that
+can count any of the supported events, along with a 64bit cycle counter.
+The PMU is accessed via CPU system registers and has no MMIO component.
+
+** DSU PMU required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of :
+
+ "arm,dsu-pmu"
+
+- interrupts : Exactly 1 SPI must be listed.
+
+- cpus : List of phandles for the CPUs connected to this DSU instance.
+
+
+** Example:
+
+dsu-pmu-0 {
+ compatible = "arm,dsu-pmu";
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 02 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ cpus = <&cpu_0>, <&cpu_1>;
+};

+* Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)
+
+Firmware implementing the SDEI functions described in ARM document number
+ARM DEN 0054A ("Software Delegated Exception Interface") can be used by
+Linux to receive notification of events such as those generated by
+firmware-first error handling, or from an IRQ that has been promoted to
+a firmware-assisted NMI.
+
+The interface provides a number of API functions for registering callbacks
+and enabling/disabling events. Functions are invoked by trapping to the
+privilege level of the SDEI firmware (specified as part of the binding
+below) and passing arguments in a manner specified by the "SMC Calling
+Convention (ARM DEN 0028B):
+
+ r0 => 32-bit Function ID / return value
+ {r1 - r3} => Parameters
+
+Note that the immediate field of the trapping instruction must be set
+to #0.
+
+The SDEI_EVENT_REGISTER function registers a callback in the kernel
+text to handle the specified event number.
+
+The sdei node should be a child node of '/firmware' and have required
+properties:
+
+ - compatible : should contain:
+ * "arm,sdei-1.0" : For implementations complying to SDEI version 1.x.
+
+ - method : The method of calling the SDEI firmware. Permitted
+ values are:
+ * "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified in this
+ binding.
+ * "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified in this
+ binding.
+Example:
+ firmware {
+ sdei {
+ compatible = "arm,sdei-1.0";
+ method = "smc";
+ };
+ };
