The DMC and L3C support up to 4 counters, while the CCPI2 supports up to 8
counters.

Counters -> counters

Assuming CCPI2 also doesn't support an overflow interrupt, I'd reword these
two sentences as:

  None of the counters support an overflow interrupt and therefore sampling
  events are unsupported. The DMC and L3C counters are 32-bit and read every
  2 seconds. The CCPI2 counters are 64-bit and assumed not to overflow in
  normal operation.
