clang-12 fails to build the etm4x driver with -fsanitize=array-bounds,
where it decides to unroll certain loops in a way that result in a
C variable getting put into an inline assembly.

Search this build failure and find this is a known issue and there
has been a mail thread discussing it.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/20210429145752.3218324-1-arnd@kernel.org/
According to the modification suggestions of this mail thread,
coresight infrastucture has already provided another API that
can replace the function that caused the error.

Used here "csdev_access_read32" to replace the original API
"etm4x_relaxed_read32".

This patch applies to coresight/next
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git

It seems like the patch you are referencing above was never applied...  So the
question is, how is it that only this instance is giving you trouble when there
are many more instances of the same pattern in the file?

Thanks,
Mathieu

Thanks for picking up the patch. Please could you convert all the other
variable indexed register access too ? That would save us spinning up
patches for fixing those individual cases whenever the compiler decides
to change its behavior.
