Currently init_imc_pmu() can fail either because we try to register an
IMC unit with an invalid domain (i.e an IMC node not supported by the
kernel) or something went wrong while registering a valid IMC unit. In
both the cases kernel provides a 'Register failed' error message.
For example when trace-imc node is not supported by the kernel, but
skiboot advertises a trace-imc node we print:
IMC Unknown Device type
IMC PMU (null) Register failed
To avoid confusion just print the unknown device type message, before
attempting PMU registration, so the second message isn't printed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
