Makes sense! Will make this change.

This would need a corresponding trace_array_put(?).
Additionally, this would again traverse the list of instances, So I
went with incrementing the ref ctr inside the function.

My bad! Maybe remnants from a trace_array_printk copy-paste.
Will correct this.

This would internally call ftrace_set_clr_event which would expect 0/1.
But I agree making it boolean would be more intuitive.
