Given the max counters value is either 4 or 8 I doubt this should matter, but
for consistenct this is fine, so:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

I now see bitmap_weight_eq() is introduced within this series, so I assume you
need to queue that and its users together, and will want to take the prior
