Thanks for fixing this. IIUC, I think we have a problem in general with
mixing perf vs sysfs. Once a perf session uses the etm3x, we overwrite
the drvdata->config with the perf event specific controls and the sysfs
user may not be aware of that. We may have to do something similar we do
for ETR buf for sysfs/perf sessions. And then we may be able to merge
the enable/disable routines.
