The HiP0x chips support counter overflow interrupt for L3C and MN.
The HiP05/06 interrupts in CPU die use Hisilicon mbigen-v1, but the
mbigen-v1
driver is not available in mainline. So the L3C and MN PMU in HiP05/06
cannot
support counter overflow in driver.
As the support for HiP05/06 are not the prime focus now. I shall remove
them
from the patch series and shall plan to include them later.

For HiP07, as it use mbigen-v2, which is in mainline, I shall include
the overflow
handling support in the next revision (V4 series).

Thanks,
Anurup
