ToDo:
1) The counter overflow handling is currently unsupported in this

 From a quick scan of the patches, I see mention of an interrupt in a
comment the driver, but there's noething in the DT binding.

Is there an overflow interrupt at all?

Or do you need to implement polling to avoid overflow?

This is a prerequisite for merging the driver.

The HiP0x chips support counter overflow interrupt for L3C and MN.
The HiP05/06 interrupts in CPU die use Hisilicon mbigen-v1, but the mbigen-v1 driver is not available in mainline. So the L3C and MN PMU in HiP05/06 cannot
support counter overflow in driver.
As the support for HiP05/06 are not the prime focus now. I shall remove them
from the patch series and shall plan to include them later.

For HiP07, as it use mbigen-v2, which is in mainline, I shall include the overflow
handling support in the next revision (V4 series).

Thanks,

Thanks,
