I did a full kernel build. Also, I see a similar issue with the 
coresight-etm4x (by code inspection) driver. Did you not hit that ?

May be there is a config option that is masking it on my end. But
the case of etm4x driver is puzzling.

$ git grep etm4_remove_amba 
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c:static void __exit 
etm4_remove_amba(struct amba_device *adev)
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c:     .remove 
= etm4_remove_amba,
