Above can be seen from the patch. Would be helpful to highlight what this
support involves since it is not obvious from changes that just adds
gotos.

Above is clear from patch. Is there a "why" since it is not clear what
these changes that are related to counter reading have to do with domain
creation and deletion topic of this patch.

Please move this declaration to resource specific case statement block.

In this series l3_mon_domain_setup() received an update to hardcode the resource. Can this do
the same to be consistent?
