I think here does not consider the case of pos==1 (though it will not occur...)

It looks good to me.

ARM virtual counter supports event stream. It can only trigger an event

example, when the trigger bit is 0, then it triggers an event for every
two cycles.

This looks like a very convoluted fix. If the problem you are
trying to fix is that the event frequency is at most half of
that of the counter, why isn't the patch below the most
obvious fix?
Thanks,

Friendly ping.
Is this an effective bugfix?
