SubjectRe: [v4 00/11] Improve RISC-V Perf support using SBI PMU and sscofpmf extension
Hello Atish!

I get linker error if CONFIG_RISCV_PMU_LEGACY is not set:

riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/perf/riscv_pmu_sbi.o: in function
`pmu_sbi_device_probe': linux/drivers/perf/riscv_pmu_sbi.c:688:
undefined reference to `riscv_pmu_legacy_init'

It looks like you need some guards or a dummy function for
riscv_pmu_legacy_init.
