Yes, the core_pcbe_program processes all cfgs in list one by one. In my sample,
there are 2 cfgs, "clk" and "rma" in cfg-list. The core_pcbe_program will
program
them all. So in kcpc_hw_overflow_intr, though the overflow bitmap skip the
counters which are not overflow, but the core_pcbe_program will still reset
them.
That's the problem.
Thanks
