There was an understanding to not use more than 20 counters in OS, so that tools like SoCWatch could use the rest 8 without total reconfiguration of the events. With this change we are not leaving much for tools and it may break SoCwatch/IMON or other tools dependent on using just 8.

Thanks for the review and the feedback Souvik. Ideally user space tools
should not put a restriction such as this one. It would be good to document
such details.

Is there a plan to support more than 20 events in telemetry driver? If not
then we can probably think of removing few events and add audio related
events maintaining total count of 20?

For now i will respin the patches and drop this one.
