    coresight: Fix handling of sinks · c71369de
    Suzuki K Poulose authored
    The coresight components could be operated either in sysfs mode or in perf
    mode. For some of the components, the mode of operation doesn't matter as
    they simply relay the data to the next component in the trace path. But for
    sinks, they need to be able to provide the trace data back to the user.
    Thus we need to make sure that "mode" is handled appropriately. e.g,
    the sysfs mode could have multiple sources driving the trace data, while
    perf mode doesn't allow sharing the sink.
    
    The coresight_enable_sink() however doesn't really allow this check to
    trigger as it skips the "enable_sink" callback if the component is
    already enabled, irrespective of the mode. This could cause mixing
    of data from different modes or even same mode (in perf), if the
    sources are different. Also, if we fail to enable the sink while
    enabling a path (where sink is the first component enabled),
    we could end up in disabling the components in the "entire"
    path which were not enabled in this trial, causing disruptions
    in the existing trace paths.
