Subject: [PATCH v3] coresight: Fix possible deadlock in coresight_panic_cb

coresight_panic_cb is called with interrupts disabled during panics.
However, bus_for_each_dev calls bus_to_subsys which takes
bus_kset->list_lock without disabling IRQs. This may cause a deadlock.

Instead of adding a panic API for coresight devices, just have coresight
drivers that need a panic callback register directly with the panic
notifier.

Fixes: 46006ceb5d02 ("coresight: core: Add provision for panic callbacks")
Fixes: 6dbcbcfc4496 ("coresight: tmc: Enable panic sync handling")
Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@...ux.dev>
---

Changes in v3:
- Rewrite patch to remove the panic sync API entirely

Changes in v2:
- Add a comment describing csdev_lock/list
- Consolidate list removal in coresight_device_release
