AXI filtering is only used by CSV modes 0x41 (axid-read) and 0x42 (axid-write)
to count reading or writing matches filter setting. Filter setting is various

Filter is defined with two configuration parts:
--AXI_ID defines AxID matching value.
--AXI_MASKING defines which bits of AxID are meaningful for the matching.
- 0:corresponding bit is masked.
- 1: corresponding bit is not masked, i.e. used to do the matching.

+ - 0: corresponding bit is masked.
+ - 1: corresponding bit is not masked, i.e. used to do the matching.
AXI_ID and AXI_MASKING are mapped on DPCR1 register in performance counter.
When non-masked bits are matching corresponding AXI_ID bits then counter is
incremented. Perf counter is incremented if
- AxID && AXI_MASKING == AXI_ID && AXI_MASKING
+ AxID && AXI_MASKING == AXI_ID && AXI_MASKING
This filter doesn't support filter different AXI ID for axid-read and axid-write
event at the same time as this filter is shared between counters.
- e.g.::
- perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/axid-read,axi_mask=0xMMMM,axi_id=0xDDDD/ cmd
- perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/axid-write,axi_mask=0xMMMM,axi_id=0xDDDD/ cmd

- NOTE: axi_mask is inverted in userspace(i.e. set bits are bits to mask), and
- it will be reverted in driver automatically. so that the user can just specify
- axi_id to monitor a specific id, rather than having to specify axi_mask.
