[PATCH] perf/arm-cmn: Validate cycles events fully

From: Robin Murphy
Date: Mon Apr 03 2023 - 07:49:15 EST


DTC cycle count events don't have anything to validate or initialise in
themselves, but we should not forget to still validate their whole group
context. Otherwise, we may fail to correctly reject a contrived group
containing an impossible number of cycles events.
