+	default y
+	help
+          The activity monitors extension is an optional extension introduced
+          by the ARMv8.4 CPU architecture. This enables support for version 1
+          of the activity monitors architecture, AMUv1.
+
+          To enable the use of this extension on CPUs that implement it, say Y.
+
+          Note that for architectural reasons, firmware _must_ implement AMU
+          support when running on CPUs that present the activity monitors
+          extension. The required support is present in:
+            * Version 1.5 and later of the ARM Trusted Firmware
+
+          For kernels that have this configuration enabled but boot with broken
+          firmware, you may need to say N here until the firmware is fixed.
+          Otherwise you may experience firmware panics or lockups when
+          accessing the counter registers. Even if you are not observing these
+          symptoms, the values returned by the register reads might not
+          correctly reflect reality. Most commonly, the value read will be 0,
+          indicating that the counter is not enabled.
