Hi Ganapatrao,

Is it possible to have vendor sub-folder in 
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64 folder (like arm64 device tree files)? 
We (HiSilicon) want to add support for our hip08 SoC, and I don't think 
"hip08" or "<internal code name for core>" are good arch sub-folder names.

I am not sure if this way discussed before, but the changelog does not 
mention it. And I think that we had the same location for thunderx2 in 
v1 series.

We should also consider that in theory the events could change per SoC 
using the same custom ARMv8 custom implementation.

Thanks,
John
