From: Kim Phillips <redacted>

Allow to build coresight-etm3x as a module, for ease of development.

- Kconfig becomes a tristate, to allow =m
- append -core to source file name to allow module to
    be called coresight-etm3x by the Makefile
- add an etm_remove function, for module unload
- add a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for autoloading on boot

Could there be multiple instances of remove running in parallel ? I
believe we need some sort of a protection here to avoid racing.

Or even better, I would recommend leaving the notifiers registered
at module_init and removed at the cleanup of the module, just like
we are doing for etm4x driver, and get rid of this silly scheme.

I would agree that this needs addressing but this is an independent
problem that could be better served by a separate patchset, rather

I agree that it is an independent problem, but this series makes it more
exposed, i.e, calling the probe/remove at runtime in any order.
So, pushing this series before that is fixed is going to cause trouble,
if they both end up in different releases.

than add feature creep to this set. The same schema is used in the CTI
driver as well and needs fixing there.

Like here :

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200729051310.18436-1-saiprakash.ranjan@codeaurora.org

This conflicts with the init / exit fns created for module loading in
the etm4x part of this set..

A decision needs to be made on which set gets applied first - my view
is that the module set could go first, then a set fixing the PM
registration issues for all three affected drivers to be applied next.

I think we should do the opposite. Fixing the hotplug is fairly straight
forward, and need not block on this large series.

Cheers
Suzuki
