It might be worthwhile to put some context in the commit log helping readers
to correlate to the specification. What I found is something like below in
section 8.2.1.2 Long MBWU counter and capture of ARM IHI 0099A.a:

In MSMON_MBWU, the VALUE field is always 31 bits. If MSMON_MBWU_L is implemented,
the length of the VALUE field is either 63 or 44 bits as set by MPAMF_MBWUMON_IDR.LWD.
