Commit f1b36dcb5c ("arm64: pmuv3: handle !PMUv3 when probing") is
a little too restrictive, and prevents the use of of backwards
compatible PMUv3 extenstions, which have a PMUver value other than 1.
For instance, ARMv8.1 PMU extensions (as implemented by ThunderX2) are
reported with PMUver value 4.
Per the usual ID register principles, at least 0x1-0x7 imply a
PMUv3-compatible PMU. It's not currently clear whether 0x8-0xe imply the
same.
For the time being, treat the value as signed, and with 0x1-0x7 treated
as meaning PMUv3 is implemented. This may be relaxed by future patches.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
