This patch alone doesn't make any sense. Please fold it with a proper
user (i.e. later patches). I can't make any sense of how this will be
used TBH without the following patches and on its own, it doesn't do
much anyways.

Please remove the coresight_device and other dependencies. You may use
generic bits, CS_LOCK/UNLOCK etc. But including coresight-priv.h is
not something I would prefer. It brings in unnecessary dependencies
between two subsystems and I don't see any reason for using -priv.h.
It is named as it is, for a reason, coresight private definitions.

Why do they need to be coresight devices and appear on the coresight bus
if they are not coresight devices ? As I understand they are simply
devices with some sysfs knobs.
Otherwise, happy with the proposal

Sorry I missed this on the previous version, but this should be %#x to
add the "0x" prefix. All the other ones in this file have it. Otherwise
you can't tell the difference between decimal and hex.

I have a question for maintainers.
The ETMv4 architecture specification shows that ETMv4 was released as
a non-confidential module in May 2013 (with the confidential release
even a year earlier). So ETMv4 has been a public IP for more than 12+
years, and ETMv3 has been gradually retired since then.
This fix can still be applied to older kernels, but seems to me that
now might be an appropriate time to consider removing the ETMv3 driver
from the mainline kernel?
Thanks,
Leo
