Exposing raw bus_types is pretty ugly, but it is indeed the status quo, 
so this probably is the reasonable thing to do. I suppose an amba_bus 
equivalent of of_find_device_by_node() could be implemented, but for 
only a single potential user that doesn't seem particularly worthwhile, 
since unless some massive shake-up of how buses work comes along the 
bus_type will inevitably end up being exported for other reasons anyway. 
So, in the context of this series;

However, as a wild idea for sidestepping the issue completely (or at 
least keeping it within the CoreSight framework), at first glance it 
appears something like the below might be feasible, although I may well 
be missing some obvious reason why not.

Thanks,
Robin.

Hi Robin and thanks for the input.  

Your approach would work if all CS devices would be on the CS bus, which is not
the case at discovery time when of_coresight_get_endpoint_device() is called.

Ah, now I see that obvious thing I was indeed missing - I got mixed up 
and started thinking bus_add_device() only got called as part of driver 
probe, but of course it's actually much earlier in 
{platform,amba}_device_add(). That means my idea cannot in fact work at 
all, since both ends of any link would defer waiting for the other to 
probe (and thus call coresight_register()) first. Oh well, I guess 
poking amba_bustype really does remain the only reasonable answer.

Thanks,
Robin.

Thanks all, I've added Robin's Reviewed-by, and submitted this patch to
RMK's patch tracking system, here:
