MPMM - the Maximum Power Mitigation Mechanism - is an optional
microarchitectural feature present on some Armv9-A cores, introduced
with the Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 cores.
MPMM allows the SoC firmware to detect and limit high activity events
to assist in SoC processor power domain dynamic power budgeting and
limit the triggering of whole-rail (i.e. clock chopping) responses to
overcurrent conditions.
This feature is enabled via the `ENABLE_MPMM` build option.
Configuration can be done via FCONF by enabling `ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF`, or
by via the plaform-implemented `plat_mpmm_topology` function.

This change makes AMU auxiliary counters configurable on a per-core
basis, controlled by `ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS`.
Auxiliary counters can be described via the `HW_CONFIG` device tree if
the `ENABLE_AMU_FCONF` build option is enabled, or the platform must
otherwise implement the `plat_amu_topology` function.
A new phandle property for `cpu` nodes (`amu`) has been introduced to
the `HW_CONFIG` specification to allow CPUs to describe the view of
their own AMU:
```
cpu0: cpu@0 {
...
amu = <&cpu0_amu>;
};
```
Multiple cores may share an `amu` handle if they implement the
same set of auxiliary counters.
AMU counters are described for one or more AMUs through the use of a new
`amus` node:
```
amus {
cpu0_amu: amu-0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
counter@0 {
reg = <0>;
enable-at-el3;
};
counter@n {
reg = <n>;
...
};
};
};
```
This structure describes the **auxiliary** (group 1) AMU counters.
Architected counters have architecturally-defined behaviour, and as
such do not require DTB entries.
These `counter` nodes support two properties:
- The `reg` property represents the counter register index.
- The presence of the `enable-at-el3` property determines whether
the firmware should enable the counter prior to exiting EL3.

This change adds some documentation on the AMU and its purpose. This is
expanded on in later patches.
