This is a problem. Setting TMC_FFCR_STOP_ON_FLUSH changes the
fundamentals of trigger event handling. Without this bit ETM can
generate multiple event  + triggers which are then embedded into the
formatted trace stream for later search.
With this new bit the capture will stop on the first event. Setting
this bit should be dependent on the mode being set to ETR_MODE_RESRV

Is there some reason to believe that the stop on flush will not work?

Using this conditional skips the  tmc_wait_for_tmcready() called by
tmc_flush_and_stop() if the formatter is stopped - which is a
different condition test on a different register.

Why is this block of code not in the patch that introduces the
tmc_panic_sync_etf()

Above comments for etf apply equally to etr.
