Ok, will fix it.

Thanks, I'm going to replace this

Yes, I will do that.

They have some CCLs per SCCL and then 4 uc pmu per CCL.
The patch description is misleading and I will fix this in the next release.
Thanks.

forcefully unbinding during sampling will lead to a
kernel panic, because the perf upper-layer framework
call a NULL pointer in this situation.
