Could we please have:

static inline u64 arm_pmu_event_max_period(struct perf_event *event)
{
	if (event->hw.flags & ARMPMU_EVT_64BIT)
		return GENMASK_ULL(63, 0);
	else
		return GENMASK_ULL(31, 0);
}

... since that's obviously balanced, with both values generated in the
same way.

Otherwise this looks good to me.

Thanks,
Mark.
