I have go through the history messages. I have a question about this
point here:
how can we handle the scenario if coresight_enable_path_from_to failed?
It means we are never calling coresight_pm_device_restore for the ETM
and leaving the ETM with OS lock state until CPU reset?
Consider we are calling etm4_disable_hw with OS lock:
etm4_disable_hw -> etm4_disable_trace_unit -> etm4x_wait_status (may
timeout here?)
Thanks,
