Whoops. That's a hold-over from development when this was called
something like l2x0_pmu_has_active_counters().
I've fixed this to return an int.
Luckily the callsites all compare against zero, so there shouldn't be a
functional problem.

Indeed. I've rewritten the above to mention how the name is used by the
sysfs code, mentioning that we do not support the L210 PMU.
Thanks,
Mark.
