Hi Sean

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 will cause a deadlock if a panic occurs while one of the other coresight functions that uses bus_for_each_dev is running.

Maintain a separate list of coresight devices to access during a panic.

Thanks for the patch. I have a minor comment.

May be add a comment here to mention why we maintain this list ?

Could this be moved to coresight_device_release(), which will be called when the device gets unregistered ? That way, you don't need it here and in coresight_unregister() too.

Rest looks good to me
