Subject: [PATCH 5.5 020/119] drivers/perf: fsl_imx8_ddr: Correct the CLEAR bit definition

From: Joakim Zhang <qiangqing.zhang@....com>

[ Upstream commit 049d919168458ac54e7fad27cd156a958b042d2f ]

When disabling a counter from ddr_perf_event_stop(), the counter value
is reset to 0 at the same time.

Preserve the counter value by performing a read-modify-write of the
PMU register and clearing only the enable bit.
