If associated ect device is not enabled at first place, disable routine should not be called. Add ect_enabled flag to check whether ect device is enabled. Fix the issue in below case. Ect device is not available when associated coresight device enabled and the association is established after coresight device is enabled.

We have cti_config::enable_req_count and cti_config::hw_enabled, both
used in
cti_enable_hw() and cti_disable_hw(). I would have thought they'd be
sufficient
to address the counting problems. If they are not I would much rather
see a
solution confined to the cti driver than in the core itself.
This is related to the fact that under sysfs it is possible under sysfs to enable an etm e.g. etm1 without the cti module present, then insert the CTI module, then enable another ETM e.g etm2. This is an issue that is caused by the possibility of module load and unload, and though inadvisable from a system usage point of view - Tingwei correctly points out that it could happen.
At the point that the first ETM is enabled, the associated ect pointer would be NULL, and thus no attempt to enable the ect/CTI is made. The CTI module on load will set the ect pointers on all registered csdev devices, including ones that are already enabled - etm1. So when we come to disable etm1, it will try to disable a CTI that it did not enable - a fact that cannot be counted in the CTI driver as it was not there when the etm was enabled. So we have a flag in csdev to record if this csdev did in fact enable the associated device, so it is clear to disable it on shutdown.
In the above example the csdev structures associated with ETM1 and ETM2 will have different csdev->ect_dev pointers, one for each CTI it is assocated with. And I would think the reference count for CTI1 would not have been incremented since it was never enabled.
What am I missing?
The issue here is we could have two or more coresght devices associated to single CTI device, especially for sys cti case. For example, we have coresight devcie A and B. They are assocaited to CTI device C. CTI module is not loaded at first. Device A is enabled. CTI C is not enabled. Then CTI module is loaded. Device B is enabled. CTI C is enabled with enable_req_count = 1. Device A is disabled. It decrease enable_req_count to 0, so CTI C is disabled. It's kinda weird to me that CTI C is enabled with device B and disabled by device A.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out, I now have a better understanding of the problem. On the flip side I hope to find a better solution, something I will have to think about. No need to wait on me though, resubmit a new revision when ready and I'll see then.
The point is we need some flag in coresight device structure to save the status of associated CTI enablement when CTI module is not loaded yet.
Thanks, Tingwei
