I'm not sure all of the above is needed and based on the wording I could easily see this patch being selected for stable backport, which would be a mistak.
The gist of this patch is that we are moving to the access abstraction and the changelog should reflect that.
True, I will make it something like :
"Prepare the TPIU driver to make use of the CoreSight device access abstraction layer. The driver touches the device even before the coresight device is registered. Thus we could be accessing the devices without a csdev. As we are about to use the abstraction layer for accessing the device, pass in the access directly to avoid having to deal with the un-initialised csdev.

- if (atomic_dec_return(csdev->refcnt)) return -EBUSY;
- tpiu_disable_hw(drvdata);
- tpiu_disable_hw(&csdev->access);

Any reason for introducing the above in patch 02? I would have done that as part of this patch... Also part of this patch I would remove drvdata::base since it is no longer needed.
The patch 02 is not touching how the individual drivers access the device, yet. It only sets the way by introducing the layer. As per the proposed change, this is a preparation of the TPIU driver, so that we can convert the generic helper functions ( coresight_timeout()) more easily and keep the patch 05 easier for review (just like the Patch 4, which prepares the ETM driver).
Cheers Suzuki
I'm out of time for today - I will continue tomorrow.
