PL220 is something else:

I seem to recall the PL310 TRM says this bit is different from the
L220 or the default is.

PL310 has parity.

and eventmon.

There's a slight problem here in that you can turn on these with DT,
but you can't turn them off as absence means don't touch. Maybe a
value of 0 should be allowed for disabling.
