driver inclusion category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ICTSJJ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of HiSilicon V3 PMU hardware is divided into parts to fulfill the job of monitoring specific parts of a device. Add description on that as well as the newly added ext operand for L3C PMU.
