copy&paste error? There is no mon_config in this function.

(copy&paste difficulties reminds me of [1])

checkpatch.pl should have warned about this split of text across two lines.
Logging functions and single strings are allowed to exceed the max line length.
If you just merge the two lines then checkpatch.pl may still warn for resctrl strings
but that is because it does not recognize rdt_last_cmd_printf() as a logging function.

You can also just shorten the string so this patch passes the checkpatch.pl check.
For example,
"Invalid event configuration: maximum valid mask is 0x%02x\n"
or
"Invalid event configuration: maximum is 0x%02x\n"
or ?
