[PATCH v3 8/8] coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Prevent per-thread events from sharing a sink

From: James Clark

Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 11:50:39 EST


Like the previous commit to ETR, SMB sinks shouldn't share per-thread
events. Fix it by returning -EBUSY if a second per-thread event tries to
use the same sink.

Fixes: 06f5c2926aaa ("drivers/coresight: Add UltraSoc System Memory Buffer driver")
