    coresight: Fix erroneous memset in tmc_read_unprepare_etr · f3b8172f
    Suzuki K Poulose authored
    At the end of a trace collection, we try to clear the entire buffer
    and enable the ETR back if it was already enabled. But, we would have
    adjusted the drvdata->buf to point to the beginning of the trace data
    in the trace buffer @drvdata->vaddr. So, the following code which
    clears the buffer is dangerous and can cause crashes, like below :
    
    	memset(drvdata->buf, 0, drvdata->size);

    Since we clear the buffer anyway in the following call to
    tmc_etr_enable_hw(), remove the erroneous memset().
