Good day,

I have started looking at this patchset yesterday - the documentation
really helps.  As usual comments will be staggered over several days.  Some can
be found below.

Is there a real need for the above two in this set?  As far as I can tell the
etmv4 and CTI flags would be enough.

This field has to be unpacked, i.e

        u16 flags;
        u16 address;

Otherwise it is impossible to understand what a cscfg_regval is.  Moreover I'm
worried about the "flags" and all the possible values.  We have to think about
how people will be using this thing and right now it is difficult.

Again I'm not sure there is an immediate need for *dev_name in this set.  Just
having a match_flag in cscfg_config_feat_ref would be enough.

It is possible, using *name, to get to the cscfg_feature_desc where nr_params is
defined.  Looking at patch 06, having nr_params here is duplicating the
information already available in cscfg_feature_desc - can it be removed
completely?

In this patchset the presets are easy because autofdo has a single feature and
there is only 2 parameters for this feature.  I worry about what things will
look like when a configuration has 6 featurse, each with a varying number of
parameters.  Here too I don't have a clear answer on how to proceed but it will
need to be revised.

Aligning the name of the structures in this file has really helped, thanks for
doing that.

More comments to come.

Thanks,
Mathieu
