I don't think this is the best way to handle the type when we've got an FDT
description:

* release_pmu hasn't been updated to match the type logic here, so it might do
   anything when handed a platform_device initialised by FDT code.

* the warning message for an invalid registration still uses pdev->id rather
   than type. This can't currently be reached when the PMU was handed to us via
   FDT, but it may confuse refactoring later on.

* If we want to add a new PMU type, we'll have to add more logic to
   pmu_device_probe. Given that work is going on to add support for system PMUs,
   this doesn't seem particularly brilliant.

+static struct of_device_id pmu_device_ids[] = {
+       { .compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu" },
+       { .compatible = "arm,cortex-a8-pmu" },
+       { .compatible = "arm,arm1136-pmu" },
+       { .compatible = "arm,arm1176-pmu" },
+       {},
+};
+
  static struct platform_driver pmu_driver = {
        .driver         = {
                .name   = "arm-pmu",
+               .of_match_table = pmu_device_ids,
        },
        .probe          = pmu_device_probe,
  };

This all seems fine for handling CPU PMUs.

I think that a better strategy would be to separate the type logic from the
registration. I have a patch for this:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-June/052455.html

With it, you won't need to change pmu_device_probe, and adding FDT support
should just be a matter of adding the of_match_table.


Okay. I'll rebase mine on top of your changes.
