The coresight components could be operated either in sysfs mode or in perf mode. For some of the components, the mode of operation doesn't matter as they simply relay the data to the next component in the trace path. But for sinks, they need to be able to provide the trace data back to the user. Thus we need to make sure that "mode" is handled appropriately. e.g, the sysfs mode could have multiple sources driving the trace data, while perf mode doesn't allow sharing the sink.
The coresight_enable_sink() however doesn't really allow this check to trigger as it skips the "enable_sink" callback if the component is already enabled, irrespective of the mode. This could cause mixing of data from different modes or even same mode (in perf), if the sources are different. Also, if we fail to enable the sink while enabling a path (where sink is the first component enabled), we could end up in disabling the components in the "entire" path which were not enabled in this trial, causing disruptions in the existing trace paths.
