For x86, the form uncore_pmu_{digits} or the uncore_pmu itself are supported. We don't have more
complex case such as the name in the form aaa_bbbX_cccY. So my test didn't cover that complex form.

For my test, your patch works, thanks! :)

Do we check *p before first isdigit? For example,

if (*p == 0)
return false;

While (*p) {
if (!isdigit(*p)
return false;
++p;
}

But maybe isdigit can handle the null string well. I'm just feeling a bit unsure.

My test didn't cover the tokens which were delimited by ','. I assume you have tested that on arm64
system. :)

Thanks
