8-letter strings representing ARC perf events are stores in two
32-bit registers as ASCII characters like that: "IJMP", "IALL", "IJMPTAK" etc.

And the same order of bytes in the word is used regardless CPU endianness.

Which means in case of big-endian CPU core we need to swap bytes to get
the same order as if it was on little-endian CPU.

Otherwise we're seeing the following error message on boot:
------------------------->8----------------------
ARC perf        : 8 counters (32 bits), 40 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]

------------------------->8----------------------

What happens here we're trying to register more than one raw perf event
with the same name "PMJI". Why? Because ARC perf events are 4 to 8 letters
and encoded into two 32-bit words. In this particular case we deal with 2
events:
 * "IJMP____" which counts all jump & branch instructions
 * "IJMPC___" which counts only conditional jumps & branches

Those strings are split in two 32-bit words this way "IJMP" + "____" &
"IJMP" + "C___" correspondingly. Now if we read them swapped due to CPU core
being big-endian then we read "PMJI" + "____" & "PMJI" + "___C".

And since we interpret read array of ASCII letters as a null-terminated string
on big-endian CPU we end up with 2 events of the same name "PMJI".

Indeed the clash is due to
commit baf9cc85ba01f ("ARC: perf: move HW events mapping to separate function") as tmp variable "j" was changed on "i". So that's a fixed hunk:

Should I send a formal patch with it or it's OK for now?

We need a "formal" patch that we can apply if you want it applied.
