Series [v4,1/2] perf/imx_ddr: speed up overflow frequency of cycle | expand

For i.MX8MP, we cannot ensure that cycle counter overflow occurs at least
4 times as often as other events. Due to byte counters will count for any
event configured, it will overflow more often. And if byte counters
overflow that related counters would stop since they share the
COUNTER_CNTL. We can speed up cycle counter overflow frequency by setting
counter parameter (CP) field of cycle counter. In this way, we can avoid
stop counting byte counters when interrupt didn't come and the byte
counters can be fetched or updated from each cycle counter overflow
interrupt.

Because we initialize CP filed to shorten counter0 overflow time, the cycle
counter will start couting from a fixed/base value each time. We need to
remove the base from the result too. Therefore, we could get precise result
from cycle counter.

Changes in v4:
 - change comments bit error
 - add CYCLES_COUNTER_MASK
Changes in v3:
 - modify the comments as suggested from Mark
 - use mask to remove bias value
 - merge two patches to one
Changes in v2:
 - improve if condition
