No. My comment was about the following pattern that is repeated four times:
	...
	ret = resctrl_arch_config_cntr(...)
	if (ret)
		...
	set_bit()/clear_bit()
	...

There is already a flag that is used by resctrl_arch_config_cntr(), the same parameters
as resctrl_arch_config_cntr() can be used for a wrapper that just calls
resctrl_arch_config_cntr() directly and uses that same flag to
select between set_bit() and clear_bit(). This wrapper can then also include
the reset of architectural state.

Also, I do not think we need atomic bitops here so these can be __set_bit()
and __clear_bit() that also matches how bits of mbm_cntr_free_map are managed
earlier in series.
