[PATCH] coresight: dummy: Update type of mode parameter in dummy_{sink,source}_enable()

Clang's kernel Control Flow Integrity (kCFI) is a compiler-based
security mitigation that ensures the target of an indirect function call
matches the expected type of the call and trapping if they do not match
exactly. The warning -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict aims
to catch these issues at compile time, which reveals:

  drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-dummy.c:53:12: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'int (*)(struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, enum cs_mode)' with an expression of type 'int (struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, u32)' (aka 'int (struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, unsigned int)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
     53 |         .enable = dummy_source_enable,
        |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-dummy.c:62:12: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'int (*)(struct coresight_device *, enum cs_mode, void *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct coresight_device *, u32, void *)' (aka 'int (struct coresight_device *, unsigned int, void *)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
     62 |         .enable = dummy_sink_enable,
        |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  2 errors generated.

Commit 9fa3682869d4 ("coresight: Use enum type for cs_mode wherever
possible") updated the type of the mode parameter in the prototype but
this driver was not introduced until commit 9d3ba0b6c056 ("Coresight:
Add coresight dummy driver") and 'int' is ABI compatible with 'enum
cs_mode', so there is no warning from regular
-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types.

Adjust the type of the mode parameter in the callback implementations in
the coresight dummy driver to match the prototype, clearing up the
warning and avoiding kCFI failures at runtime.
