We pushed the fix as part of the coresight fixes for 6.1 [0], as

commit: 6746eae4bbad "coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()"


But, the version in there, produced a build warning with "unused
variable" (with CONFIG_WERROR) [1] and thus was reverted in [2],

commit: d76308f03ee1: Revert "coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()"


Later, we sent you the corrected fix separately [3], which was queued as
commit "6746eae4bbadd".

6746eae4bbad coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()

So, in effect, here is what we have in the tree :

$ git log --oneline | grep "cti: Fix"
6746eae4bbad coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()
d76308f03ee1 Revert "coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()"
665c157e0204 coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()

I understand the "same" subject line has caused this confusion. Will
modify it in the future avoid this confusion.

So, kindly drop "665c157e0204" from the queue for 5.10, it would fail to
apply there anyway so does the correct "6746eae4bbad". This backport
is appropriate for 5.10 branch, with the correct version.

I have double checked the versions pulled into 6.0.x [4] and 5.15.x [5] 
branches and they all have the correct one (6746eae4bbad) applied.

Hope this helps.
