Okay, will fix in the next patch series. Mesa PR still need some uAPI
changes I made in this patch series.

Makes sense. But how would the reviewers know if a patch v2 in a series
v6 has been updated?

Here is EVENT is referring to POLLIN (new EU stall data in the buffer)
from poll(). This property would specify the minimum EU stall data
records to be present in the buffer for poll() to set POLLIN.
