On an attempt to access CNTPCT_EL0 from EL0 using a guest running on top of Xen, a trap from EL2 was observed which is something not reproducible on HW (also, Xen does not trap accesses to physical counter).
This is because gt_counter_access() checks for an incorrect bit (1 instead of 0) of CNTHCTL_EL2 if HCR_EL2.E2H is 0 and access is made to physical counter. Refer ARM ARM DDI 0487J.a, D19.12.2: When HCR_EL2.E2H is 0: - EL1PCTEN, bit [0]: refers to physical counter - EL1PCEN, bit [1]: refers to physical timer registers Fix it by checking for the right bit (i.e. 0) and update the comment referring to incorrect bit name.
