Subject: [PATCH v2] coresight: Fix data arguments to coresight enable/disable helpers

In the commit being fixed, coresight_enable_path() was changed to call
coresight_enable_helpers() by passing a struct coresight_path*
as the final void* 'path' argument, rather passing 'sink_data'
as was being passed previously. This set the groundwork for the
subsequent addition of the ctcu_enable function which interprets
void* data as a struct coresight_path*, but it also broke the
existing catu_enable function which interprets void* data
as a struct perf_output_handle*.

The compiler could not flag the error since there are several layers
of function calls treating the pointer as void*.

Fix both users simultaneously by adding an additional argument to the
enable helper interface. So now both the struct coresight_path and the
struct perf_output_handle pointers are passed. Also, eliminate all
usages of the void* from these code paths and use explicit types
instead to make all of this code more robust.

Note: The disable function is also changed from void* to
struct coresight_path* but no implementations of this function
need the struct perf_output_handle* so it is not added to the interface.

The existing bug can be reproduced with:

# perf record -e cs_etm//k -C 0-9 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

Showing an oops as follows:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000f6e84934ed19e

Call trace:
 tmc_etr_get_buffer+0x30/0x80 [coresight_tmc] (P)

 catu_enable+0x70/0xe0 [coresight_catu]
 coresight_enable_path+0xb0/0x258 [coresight]

Fixes: 080ee83cc361 ("Coresight: Change functions to accept the coresight_path")

Jie, I looked into your suggestion of adding the struct
perf_output_handle* to the struct coresight_path, but I couldn't
justify adding event-related data to the path structure, which has
nothing to do with it.

So, instead I took the approach in this patch to plumb both arguments
through the enable path, (and changed away from void* as you agreed
to).

Note: I've tested that this fixes the bug for catu_enable. This patch
also obviously touches ctcu_enable, which I believe is correct, but I
have not tested since I don't have ready access to the necessary
hardware. I will appreciate other testing.

-Carl
