Introduce code to support the checking of attr.config* for values which are reserved for a given platform. Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) configuration registers have fields that are reserved and some specific values for bit fields are reserved. For ex., MMCRA[61:62] is Random Sampling Mode (SM) and value of 0b11 for this field is reserved. Writing non-zero or invalid values in these fields will have unknown behaviours. Patch adds a generic call-back function "check_attr_config" in "struct power_pmu", to be called in event_init to check for attr.config* values for a given platform.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
