[PATCH v4 4/6] coresight: Use PMU driver configuration for sink selection

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Wed Nov 28 2018 - 17:01:30 EST


This patch uses the PMU driver configuration held in event::hw::drv_config
to select a sink for each event that is created (the old sysFS way of
working is kept around for backward compatibility).

By proceeding in this way a sink can be used by multiple sessions
without having to play games with entries in sysFS.
