The idea in splitting the update and reset operation was to seamlessly support
sinks that generate an interrupt when their buffer gets full. Those are coming
and when we do need to support them we'll find ourselves splitting the update
and reset operation again.

For the current sink we support, i.e those that don't generate interrupts when
their buffer is full, I'm in agreement with your work. I suggest you don't
touch the current implementation of etm_event_stop() and move everything you've
done to the reset operation. The end result is the same and we don't have to
rework (again) etm_event_stop() when we need to support IPs that do send
interrupts.
