Thank you for providing a more accurate and readable description.
I was indeed struggling with how to describe the problem more accurately before.

I agree, but it would require modifying the driver, which is not currently being
considered. In the meantime, I can describe the event_field as ('NodeType', 'type=').

Okay, I will test it right away.

You are correct, I compared the generated pmu-events.c files before and after,
and they are indeed different, with before:config=0x5 vs after:config=0x05. I will keep the
original way of handling ConfigCode in the next version.

If the event is None, the statement event += value + jd[key] would result in an error.
So, maybe I can use the following way:

if event:
    event += ',' + value + jd[key]
else:
    event = value + jd[key]
