Nit: any reason for picking a different order than the encoding one? e.g.
                     op0  op1  CRn   CRm       op2
                     11   011  1101  010:<n3>  n<2:0>

My Arm ARM (DDI 0487E.a) says n can be in the [0, 15] range, despite there
being only 4 architected counters ATM. Shouldn't matter too much now, but
when more architected counters are added we'll have to assert 'n' against
something (some revision #?).

If you want to be fancy, you could use GENMASK(2, 0) --------------------/

Why not bool?
