Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Improve PTT filter interface

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@...ilicon.com>

This series tends to improve the PTT's filter interface in 2 aspects (Patch 2&3):
- Support dynamically filter updating to response to hotplug
  Previous the supported filter list is settled down once the driver probed and
  it maybe out-of-date if hotplug events happen later. User need to reload the
  driver to update list. Patch 1/2 enable the driver to update the list by
  registering a PCI bus notifier and the filter list will always be the latest.
- Export the available filters through sysfs
  Previous user needs to calculate the filters and filter value using device's
  BDF number, which requires the user to know the hardware well. Patch 3/3 tends
  to export the available filter information through sysfs attributes, the filter
  value will be gotten by reading the file. This will be more user friendly.

In order to support above function, this series also includes a patch 1/4 to factor
out the allocation and release function of PTT filters.

Also includes an improvement. Patch 4 tends to set proper PMU capability to avoid
collecting unnecessary data to save the storage.

Change since v2:
- Fix one possible issue for dereferencing a NULL pointer

Change since v1:
- Drop the patch for handling the cpumask since it seems to be redundant
- Refine of the codes per Jonathan
- Add Patch 1/4 for refactor the filters allocation and release
- Thanks the review of Jonathan.
