Given the function is called pmu_get_counter_ctrl, why the '& 1'?
Thats because the Count Control has only 1 bit defined. The rest is RES0.
Either this should return the raw value, or the function should be
renamed to something like pmu_counter_is_enabled, and made bool.
Makes sense. I will change it to pmu_counter_is_enabled().
Thanks
