I suspect that can be removed *entirely*, and this can be simplified down to allocating N counters, without a quadratic event comparison. We don't try to share counters in other PMU drivers, and there was no rationale for trying to do this when this wa introduced in commit: 8404b0fbc7fbd42e ("drivers/perf: hisi: Add driver for HiSilicon PCIe PMU") The 'link' tag in that comment goes to v13, which doesn't link to prior postings, so I'm not going to dig further.
