IMO, this should be "RISC-V, perf:" or just "RISC-V" as the changes
being made to the arch code are far more meaningful than those
elsewhere.

And in doing so, you regress break perf for existing DTs :(
You didn't add the property to existing DTS in-kernel either, so if this
series was applied, perf would just entirely stop working, no?

Personally, I like this conversion, but it is going to regress support
for perf on any T-Head cores which may be a bitter pill to get people to
actually accept...
Perhaps we could add this "improved" detection in parallel, and
eventually remove the m*id based stuff in the future.

Again, this would need to be documented in the dt-binding to be
acceptable.

Can all of the m*id checks be removed, since the firmware is now
explicitly telling us that the T-Head PMU is supported?
