With lockdeps enabled, we get the following warning:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
------------------------------------------------------
kworker/u12:1/53 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff80000adce220 (coresight_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: coresight_set_assoc_ectdev_mutex+0x3c/0x5c
but task is already holding lock:
ffff80000add1f60 (ect_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cti_probe+0x318/0x394

which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (ect_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}:
       __mutex_lock_common+0xd8/0xe60
       mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x50

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

 #3: (ect_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cti_probe+0x318/0x394

To fix the same, call cti_add_assoc_to_csdev without the holding
coresight_mutex and confine the locking while setting the associated
ect / cti device using coresight_set_assoc_ectdev_mutex().
