Currently, the driver has two behaviors to deal with new & unsupported
performance blocks reported by the firmware:
1. For register and unknown block types, the driver will fail to load
with the following error message:
[ 4510.956369] mlxbf-pmc: probe of MLNXBFD2:00 failed with error -22
2. For counter and crspace blocks, the driver will load and sysfs files
will be created but getting the contents of event_list or trying to
setup the counter will fail
Instead, let's ignore and log unsupported blocks. This means the driver
will always load and unsupported blocks will never show up in sysfs.

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.
