+* Samsung Exynos PPMU (Platform Performance Monitoring Unit) device
+
+The Samsung Exynos SoC has PPMU (Platform Performance Monitoring Unit) for
+each IP. PPMU provides the primitive values to get performance data. These
+PPMU events provide information of the SoC's behaviors so that you may
+use to analyze system performance, to make behaviors visible and to count
+usages of each IP (DMC, CPU, RIGHTBUS, LEFTBUS, CAM interface, LCD, G3D, MFC).
+The Exynos PPMU driver uses the devfreq-event class to provide event data
+to various devfreq devices. The devfreq devices would use the event data when
+derterming the current state of each IP.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "samsung,exynos-ppmu".
+- reg: physical base address of each PPMU and length of memory mapped region.
+
+Optional properties:
+- clock-names : the name of clock used by the PPMU, "ppmu"
+- clocks : phandles for clock specified in "clock-names" property
+- #clock-cells: should be 1.
+
+Example1 : PPMU nodes in exynos3250.dtsi are listed below.
+
+ ppmu_dmc0: ppmu_dmc0@106a0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x106a0000 0x2000>;

+ };

+ };
+
+ ppmu_cpu: ppmu_cpu@106c0000 {

+ reg = <0x106c0000 0x2000>;

+
+ ppmu_rightbus: ppmu_rightbus@112a0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x112a0000 0x2000>;
+ clocks = <&cmu CLK_PPMURIGHT>;
+ clock-names = "ppmu";
+ status = "disabled";

+ clock-names = "ppmu";
