Nest PMUs are configured via PORE engine interface and PORE Engine collections the Nest counter value and updates in the main memory which is reserved for this use.

Main loop is only for nodes with property "ibm,ima-chip". Not all the nodes will have this property. > If that's what you intended (especially with regards to returning 0 when > a subsequent node is missing a property), a comment explaining it would > be great. Yes. I will add comment explaining it. But i did add this in the commit message.

Commit has the device tree hierarchy for the Nest instrumentation. So if we dont find this property then Nest instrumentation is not supported, hence bail out. > >> +} >> + >> static int __init nest_pmu_init(void) >> { >> int ret = 0; >> @@ -256,6 +287,12 @@ static int __init nest_pmu_init(void) >> >> cpumask_chip(); >> >> + /* >> + * Detect the Nest PMU feature >> + */ >> + if (nest_ima_detect_parse()) >> + return 0; >> + >> return 0; >> } > Zero is returned regardless of the output of nest_ima_detect_parse.
