Acked. I have missed this potential race condition.

That's making sense. I shouldnt add such restriction for the read process.

Scenarios for reading:
1. device is enabled -> trace ID is valid
2. device is enabled then disabled -> trace ID is valid for the last
trace event
3. device is never enabled -> invalid trace ID (value 0)

we only need to check the validation of the trace ID.

mutex_lock(&coresight_mutex);
val = drvdata->traceid;
mutex_unlock(&coresight_mutex);

if (!val)
return -EINVAL;

return sysfs_emit(buf, "%#lx\n", val);

Thanks,
Jie
