Subject: [PATCH 5.9 375/391] coresight: cti: Initialize dynamic sysfs attributes

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@....com>

commit 80624263fa289b3416f7ca309491f1b75e579477 upstream.

With LOCKDEP enabled, CTI driver triggers the following splat due
to uninitialized lock class for dynamically allocated attribute
objects.

Fix this by initializing the attributes when they are allocated.
