cover perf: make Arm CCI driver modular

Now that it has been surgically removed from the MCPM port-control code, we can let the CCI PMU driver be modular. Probing the PMU in the first place still depends on the bus driver stub being built-in, but it's a small price to pay compared to the major upheaval of completely reworking the DT-handling code across the two drivers.

Robin.

PATCH 1/3 perf/arm-cc*: Fix MODULE_LICENSE() tags

The CCI/CCN drivers are licensed under GPLv2, but the MODULE_LICENSE() tags are using the bare "GPL" string implying GPLv2 or later. Fix them to match their actual file license.

PATCH 2/3 perf/arm-cci: Remove pointless PMU disabling

In reply to Robin Murphy

The CCI PMU driver bears some legacy remnants of the arm_pmu framework from when it was split in c6f85cb4305b ("bus: cci: move away from arm_pmu framework"). In particular this perf_pmu_{dis,en}able() dance around pmu->add which was fixed for arm_pmu in a9e469d1c89b ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: remove pointless PMU disabling").

For the exact same reasons (i.e. perf core already does this around the call anyway), give cci_pmu_add() the exact same change, which also prevents having to export those core functions to build it as a module.

PATCH 3/3 perf/arm-cci: Allow building as a module

In reply to Robin Murphy

Fill in the few extra bits and annotations needed to make the driver work properly as a module, and jiggle the Kconfig to expose the driver-level ARM_CCI_PMU option.

---

Preserving the current level of configurability does end up allowing a rather pointless module configuration which supports no hardware variants, but I couldn't find a way to enforce "at least one sub-option selected" logic without Kbuild claiming a recursive dependency.
