This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
coresight: cti: Initialize dynamic sysfs attributes
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Suzuki K Poulose suzuki.poulose@arm.com Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 10:45:58 -0600 Subject: coresight: cti: Initialize dynamic sysfs attributes
With LOCKDEP enabled, CTI driver triggers the following splat due to uninitialized lock class for dynamically allocated attribute objects.

Fix this by initializing the attributes when they are allocated.
