Thanks for the fix, I will queue this. Btw, I did try to
reproduce it locally, but couldn't trigger the warnings,
even with

CONFIG_WERROR=y

and all CORESIGHT configs builtin. I see other drivers doing the
same outside coresight too. Just curious to know why is this
any different. Is it specific to "bus" driver (e.g. AMBA) ?
