This mechanism doesn't rely on the naming scheme - it exploits the "resource" interface exported for each amba device [1].

Not sure what you mean by "pmu" directory - would you mind expanding on that? Using sysfs would be quite easy but I am reluctant to create a new id/key mechanism and introduce another entry when we have the component address that is unique and already available in the amba directory structure.
