Subject: docs: ABI: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices: Document sysfs caps entry
for PMU
Git-commit: 999d7c47a0f737157608b9b0d2d37bdd1afec58c
Patch-mainline: v6.0-rc1
References: jsc#PED-557
Details is added about "caps" attribute group in the ABI documentation.
This is used to expose some of the PMU attributes in "caps"
directory under : /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/. The dev/caps
will contain information about features that platform specific PMU
supports.

+Description:
+ Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
+ for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
+ expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
+ userspace can understand some of the feature which the
+ platform specific PMU supports.
+
+ One of the example available capability in supported platform
+ like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
+ to the PMU driver.
+
+ Example output in powerpc:
+ grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
+ /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9
