Subject: [PATCH v2] coresight: Fixes device's owner field for registered using coresight_init_driver()

The coresight_init_driver() of the coresight-core module is called from
the sub coresgiht device (such as tmc/stm/funnle/...) module. It calls
amba_driver_register() and Platform_driver_register(), which are macro
functions that use the coresight-core's module to initialize the caller's
owner field.  Therefore, when the sub coresight device calls
coresight_init_driver(), an incorrect THIS_MODULE value is captured.

The sub coesgiht modules can be removed while their callbacks are
running, resulting in a general protection failure.

User a macro to automatically add the THIS_MODULE param to
coresight_init_driver() to fix this.

Fixes: 075b7cd7ad7d ("coresight: Add helpers registering/removing both AMBA and platform drivers")

Changes in v2:
- even a macro to automatically add the THIS_MODULE param for coresight_init_driver();
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c3744062-f7c1-82df-2fa1-591da3b2dc5e@huawei.com/T/
