Try to fix one thing per patch, i.e. first the most obvious one, then
the other that requires going thru the new_term() logic, i.e. first
this, which is super easy to review:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c
index c4906a6a9f1a..3ada3874a90a 100644

 }
 

Then you go to the one that requires the reviewer (now or in the future,
trying to figure out why something broke) to look at the new_term()
code, ok?
