docs: ABI: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices: Document sysfs caps entry for PMU
Details is added about "caps" attribute group in the ABI documentation. This is used to expose some of the PMU attributes in "caps" directory under : /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/. The dev/caps will contain information about features that platform specific PMU supports.

Description:
|
||||
Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
|
||||
for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
|
||||
expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
|
||||
userspace can understand some of the feature which the
|
||||
platform specific PMU supports.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the example available capability in supported platform
|
||||
like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
|
||||
to the PMU driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Example output in powerpc:
|
||||
grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
|
||||
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9
