According to the error prompt of function hisi_ptt_trace_start().
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc7/source/drivers/hwtracing/ptt/hisi_ptt.c#L197

You may be need to keep advertise PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUSIVE?
Such pmus can only have one event scheduled at a time, if not the perf
tool will report device busy.

Best regards,
Junhao.
