I'm surprised to see that the remove callback introduced in 2952ecf5df33
("coresight: etm4x: Refactor probing routine") has an __exit annotation.

With .suppress_bind_attrs = true you don't need a remove callback at
all. (And without .suppress_bind_attrs = true the remove callback must
have no __exit annotation.)

This make me looking at commit 45fe7befe0db ("coresight: remove broken
__exit annotations") by Arnd. Unless I miss something the better change
would have been to remove the unused remove callbacks instead of dropping
their __exit annotation?!

Anyhow, my conflict resolution looks as follows:

+ 	pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev);
+ 	return ret;
  }
  
  static const struct amba_id etm4_ids[] = {

If this series should make it in for 5.12 we probably need an immutable
branch between hwtracing and amba.
