At this time only ETMv4 supports the feature, so it is only ARM64.

I don't see why we need a callback for link devices - didn't I raised
that question before?
And I've been thinking further about this. The way we call the panic callbacks
won't work. When a panic is triggered there might be trace data in the CS network
that hasn't made it to the sink yet and calling the panic callbacks for sinks
will lead to a loss of data.
That is why, when accessing from both sysFS and perf, the current implementation
takes great care to stop the tracers first and then deal with the sink. To fix
this I suggest to call the panic callbacks only for sources. What happens there
will depend on what interface is used (sysFS or perf) - look at what is
currently done to get a better understanding.

I would not bother with the dev_info()...

Now that pre and post processing are gone the description above doesn't match
what the function is doing.
