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.

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.
