[PATCH] riscv: dts: tenstorrent: Add PMU node to blackhole for Linux perf support

[Anirudh Srinivasan]

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

Add a riscv,pmu device tree node with SBI PMU event mappings for the
SiFive X280 hardware performance counters. This enables OpenSBI to
expose the SBI PMU extension, allowing Linux perf to use the 4
programmable counters (mhpmcounter3-6) across 3 event classes:
instruction commit, microarchitectural, and memory system events.

Event encodings are derived from the SiFive Tenstorrent X280 MC Manual
(21G3.04.00) Table 13, section 3.10.5.

Added a dependency of [1] to b4 so that checkpatch doesn't complain
about the Assisted-by tag

If there are no objections, then I will apply it to
tenstorrent-dt-for-next.

Thanks,
