Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] coresight: Grouping all perf tools oriented section together
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:08:07 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523981287-15370-4-git-send-email-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1523981287-15370-1-git-send-email-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>

This patch groups together section pertaining to the perf tools.  That way
everything is at the same place rather than spread out.
