The usual place for these things is /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu name>.
The events are described as files under the events directory (one file per event, which describes the encoding) and you can describe other things such as formatting and/or capabilities under other directories too.
Take a look at some other PMU drivers to get an idea of how it works.
