Please could you add a Fixes tag for this:

Fixes: 3147da92a8a81fc3 ("coresight: tmc-etr: Allocate and free ETR memory 
buffers for CPU-wide scenarios")

as the problem was introduced as a side effect of the above patch ?

minor nit: Now that we are storing the etr_buf instead of the etr_perf_buf in
perf_data, we could make the "perf_data" => "perf_buf" inline with the
sysfs_buf.

Either ways:
