Via commit 5214b563588e ("coresight: etm4x: Add support for
sysreg only devices"), the setting of 'skip_power_up' flag was
moved after the 'etm4_init_arch_data' function is called, whereas
the flag value is itself used inside the function. This causes
a crash when ETM mode 'Low-power state behavior override' is set
on some Qualcomm parts.

Fix the same.

I personally think this sentence should be placed in the function
etm4_probe(), you need to move it just before smp call
etm4_init_arch_data(), this can allow DT property "qcom,skip-power-up"
to be respected.

Or we could move this to init_iomem_access() and explicitly set the flag
to true in init_sysreg_access().

I prefer to move the condition checking for "desc.access.io_mem" to
etm4_init_sysreg_access(), this can make sure the flag skip_power_up
is set correctly based on property of system register access.

A side topic, in the mainline kernel I found the value
"desc.access.io_mem" is always zero (see the initialized value in
etm4_probe() and etm4_init_sysreg_access()). Should we initialize
desc.access.io_mem to true in etm4_probe()?

Thats not true. It is initialised at :

etm4_init_iomem_access():

*csa = CSDEV_ACCESS_IOMEM(drvdata->base);

Where

#define CSDEV_ACCESS_IOMEM(_addr) \
((struct csdev_access) { \
.io_mem = true, \
.base = (_addr), \
})
