Subject: RESEND Re: [PATCH 2/2] perf vendor events riscv: add T-HEAD C9xx JSON file

As my last email is correct, this is a resend.

They are different, as this summary:

event id range   |  support cpu
 0x01 - 0x06     |  c906,c910,c920
 0x07            |  c906
 0x08 - 0x0a     |  c910,c920
 0x0b - 0x0f     |  c906,c910,c920
 0x10 - 0x1a     |  c910,c920
 0x1b - 0x1c     |  c910,c920 (software defined, >= 0x1b)
 0x1d - 0x2a     |  c906

This table shows it is not very different. The events of c910 and c906
are complementary.

Drop wildcard is a good idea. But I choose to preserve t-head c9xx id,
as it cover all events for c9xx series.
