Counting with invalid event coding for free-running counter may cause
OOPs, e.g. uncore_iio_free_running_0/event=1/.
Current code only validate the event with free-running event format,
event=0xff,umask=0xXY. Non-free-running event format never be checked
for the PMU with free-running counters.
Add generic hw_config() to check and reject the invalid event coding
for free-running PMU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
