Sure.

Anything not starting with uncore_ is assumed not to have a suffix.

Sure, the intention is to be intention revealing getting a left hand
and right hand pmu name, the length of the name part and the suffix
number. I'm not sure a comment can do more than restate what the code
is doing.

Right, there is a suitable definition in linux/kernel.h

The alternative is:
return lhs_num  - rhs_num;
which removes the compares and has a bug around minimum integer
everybody ignores.
