Hi. Some drive by comments inline.

Mostly concern being consistent with error handling.

Documentation needed.
Documentation/admin-guide/perf

Note I've not looked at perf state machine as would need to remind myself
how that stuff works. So this is all generic driver handling stuff rather
than perf specific.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Prefix these. Highly likely to have namespace clashes.

Not sure this macro is worth having. Mostly used as boolean, so
nr & BIT(bit) inline would do the job.

These comments don't really add much given that's easy to see from code.
It's rare that 'structure' comments describing where things are in code
are actually useful in kernel drivers. They tend to be there in example
code to indicate what is needed, but don't keep them!

No comma after NULL terminator as we can't add anything there anyway.

Pretty obvious that clearing global enable stops the counter.
Perhaps review comments and remove any that are obvious from the code.
Such comments add little value and can be a maintenance problem.

Odd alignment. I'd put it one tab more than struct.

If you get here and !event. Is it a bug, or something valid?
Maybe a comment if it's valid. Otherwise an error print might make sense.

Compiler can probably figure out this isn't used. But if not
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_PM))
return 0;

will allow the compiler to definitely remove the code.

stubbed out in header so no need to protect with ifdef.
Compiler will probably remove it anyway.

Handle ret You are printing a warning so I'd assume it's a failure to probe
case, not something ignored.

Not dropped in error paths.

This calls starlink_pmu_pm_unregister()
That should not be necessary as every function should be designed to have no side effects
on error return.

Inconsistent error handling. Before and aftre this you call starlink_pmu_destroy()
but not here.

Noise. Don't print to the log when there are many other ways to find this out.

Can you use CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN?

Moves it a bit later in the sequence but it often works for perf drivers.
