Thank you for the suggestion! I held off on doing this because in the
8895 patch, Krzysztof said that the pure-ARM design PMU naming was too
trivial and unimportant to change. Mongoose PMU however breaks sorting
in the tree, so unlike the arm-pmus, it's more important.

It's up to Krzysztof if he wishes a global change for all affected
Exynos trees.
