Hi Andy,

Thanks for your review. My comments below.

If you agree then i can quickly send v3 addressing all suggestions so we 
can make it in time for 4.20 merge window.

We show 0 LTR for invalid scale as PMC output is junk sometimes.

We intend to return 0 so for invalid LTR scale. This will make retuen 
non zero and we dont want that.

intentional.

This is because the formatted output looks better with this width. I 
used 32 for the earlier patch because its consistent with rest and also 
does not look bad on screen.

Sure, I can test how it looks with 0x%016x and modify it.

I plan to keep the index as is. Reason for this is mentioned in previous 
patch that introduces this index.

Noted.

Certainly. Luckily 0day bot didnt complain about randconfigs etc so is 
it really needed as it will increase size?
