Semi-related to this patch but probably not worth fixing: There's 
technically a race condition with an external debugger here. It would be 
better to use coresight_claim_device_unlocked() and report the error 
that's returned instead of manually writing to the whole claim register 
without checking it before and after like the claim function does.
