If the platform doesn't support an event counter, enabling it using the 'counter_enable' debugfs attribute currently will succeed. But reading the debugfs attribute back will return 'Counter Disabled'. This could cause confusion to the users. So while enabling an event counter in counter_enable_write(), always read back the status to check if the counter is enabled or not. If not, return -EOPNOTSUPP to let the users know that the event counter is not supported.
