Incomplete commit log ...

For a better practice, it's deserve to write a high quality commit log
which is helpful for maintainers to understand your patch, at the end,
it also can accelerate your patch's merging.  Let me quote a suggestion
for the commit log format from an old reply [1]:

... Please use the customary changelog style we use in the kernel:

  " Current code does (A), this has a problem when (B).
    We can improve this doing (C), because (D)."

I am struggling to understand this line code, but looks to me this is
right.  The system might have both ETR and ETF components, so we
need to calculate index for all sinks.

Should invoke tmc_init() in an ealier phase so it can prepare device class
prior to the TMC devices registration?  In other words, I think here
should be:

  subsys_initcall(tmc_init);
