    perf vendor events: Drop support for unused topic directories · 6f2f2ca3
    John Garry authored
    Currently a topic subdirectory is supported in the pmu-events dir, in
    the following sample structure: /arch/platform/subtopic/mysubtopic.json
    
    Upto 256 levels of topic subdirectories are supported. So this means
    that JSONs may be located in a topic dir as well as the platform dir.
    
    This topic subdirectory causes problems if we want to add support for a
    vendor dir in the pmu-events structure (in the form
    arch/platform/vendor), in that we cannot differentiate between a vendor
    dir and a topic dir.
    
    Since the topic dir feature is not used, drop it so it does not block
    adding vendor subdirectory support.
