Thank you Mario.

Rafael, Sean, Hans - could you please kindly tell if this approach is
ok by you? If so I will want to start the registration process of ACPI
ID required for this series.

Previously Mario suggested that maybe Linux Foundation could own the
namespace and ID for this Virtual PMC device - could you please advise
in this matter?

Thank you in advance,
Grzegorz
