+* Samsung Exynos PPMU (Performance Profiling Monitoring Unit) device
+
+The Samsung Exynos SoC have PPMU (Performance Profiling Monitoring Unit) for
+each IPs. PPMU provides the primitive values to get performance data. These
+events provide useful information about the behavior of the SoC that you can
+use when analyzing system performance, and made visible and can be counted
+using login in each IP (DMC, CPU, RIGHTBUS, LEFTBUS, CAM interface, LCD, G3D,
+MFC). The Exynos PPMU driver use the devfreq-event class to provide event data
+to various devfreq device. The devfreq device 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.
+
+Example : Examples of PPMU nodes are listed below.
+
+ ppmu_dmc0: ppmu_dmc0@106a0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x106a0000 0x2000>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+
+ ppmu_dmc1: ppmu_dmc1@106b0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x106b0000 0x2000>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+
+ ppmu_cpu: ppmu_cpu@106c0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x106c0000 0x2000>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+
+ ppmu_rightbus: ppmu_rightbus@112a0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x112a0000 0x2000>;
+ clocks = <&cmu CLK_PPMURIGHT>;
+ clock-names = "ppmu";
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+
+ ppmu_leftbus: ppmu_leftbus0@116a0000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos-ppmu";
+ reg = <0x116a0000 0x2000>;
