Could we not name this "<vendor>_<ipname>_pmu" ? Or even let the 
"implementor" name it ? After all, for a *normal user*, all it matters
is how to find a PMU device for my xyz IP.
The coresight_pmu architecture is there to make the life easier for the
software driver and the hardware implementation. We don't need to 
necessarily pass on this abstraction to an end-user and learn how to 
figure out which "arm_*_pmu<N>" is my PCIe, or SMMU or xyz instance.
