Subject: [PATCH] coresight: etm3x: Fix cntr_val_show() to match
 cntr_val_store() behavior

The cntr_val_show() function was intended to print the values of all
counters using a loop. However, due to a buffer overwrite issue with
sprintf(), it effectively only displayed the value of the last counter.

The companion function, cntr_val_store(), allows users to modify a
specific counter selected by 'cntr_idx'. To maintain consistency
between read and write operations and to align with the ETM4x driver
behavior, modify cntr_val_show() to report only the value of the
currently selected counter.

This change removes the loop and the "counter %d:" prefix, printing
only the hexadecimal value. It also adopts sysfs_emit() for standard
sysfs output formatting.
