[PATCH v4 09/10] coresight: etb10: Remove sharing guards from ETB10

James Clark james.clark at linaro.org
Fri Oct 16 03:46:19 PDT 2026


Potential sink sharing is now identified during AUX setup. Trust the
core sharing rules when enabling an event and use the sink reference
count to avoid reconfiguring hardware that is already active.

Remove the redundant PID tracking from ETB10 and its buffer allocation.
