I think it is also worth mentioning that the only SoC, to my knowledge,
that works with a mainline kernel, and supports the SBI PMU is the D1,
and only recently has the OpenSBI port for the SoC been fixed to
actually work correctly, and that has apparently not yet made it to
a release of OpenSBI, making the "damage" caused by requiring a DT
property for PMU support not all that bad since the firmware needs to be
changed anyway.

Thanks for your work on this,
Conor.
