This shouldn't be that uncommon for coresight users:

make defconfig
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINK_AND_SINK_TMC
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_TPIU
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_ETBV10
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM3X
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X
#scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_QCOM_REPLICATOR
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_DYNAMIC_REPLICATOR
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_STM
scripts/config -e CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CPU_DEBUG

FWIW, Mathieu - who helped me track the cannot allocate memory problem
down to this config symbol - has also benn caught by this issue.

Well, there's only one defconfig for arm64.  I don't know why it
doesn't set CORESIGHT, but you're right, this is taking the build fix
one step further to facilitate user coresight configuration.  I can
change the patch to make the change to the arm64 defconfig, but I still
believe CORESIGHT_DYNAMIC_REPLICATOR should be default=y, and the
defconfig just set CORESIGHT.

Yeah, CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS should probably be default y too.
