This series enables future IP trace features Embedded Trace Extension (ETE) and Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE). This series depends on the ETM system register instruction support series [0] which is available here [1]. This series which applies on [1] is avaialble here [2] for quick access.
ETE is the PE (CPU) trace unit for CPUs, implementing future architecture extensions. ETE overlaps with the ETMv4 architecture, with additions to support the newer architecture features and some restrictions on the supported features w.r.t ETMv4. The ETE support is added by extending the ETMv4 driver to recognise the ETE and handle the features as exposed by the TRCIDRx registers. ETE only supports system instructions access from the host CPU. The ETE could be integrated with a TRBE (see below), or with the legacy CoreSight trace bus (e.g, ETRs). Thus the ETE follows same firmware description as the ETMs and requires a node per instance.
Trace Buffer Extensions (TRBE) implements a per CPU trace buffer, which is accessible via the system registers and can be combined with the ETE to provide a 1x1 configuration of source & sink. TRBE is being represented here as a CoreSight sink. Primary reason is that the ETE source could work with other traditional CoreSight sink devices. As TRBE captures the trace data which is produced by ETE, it cannot work alone.
TRBE representation here have some distinct deviations from a traditional CoreSight sink device. Coresight path between ETE and TRBE are not built during boot looking at respective DT or ACPI entries.
Unlike traditional sinks, TRBE can generate interrupts to signal including many other things, buffer got filled. The interrupt is a PPI and should be communicated from the platform. DT or ACPI entry representing TRBE should have the PPI number for a given platform. During perf session, the TRBE IRQ handler should capture trace for perf auxiliary buffer before restarting it back. System registers being used here to configure ETE and TRBE could be referred in the link below.

This set is giving me several checkpatch.pl warnings... Those about complex macros and DT bindings are fine but everything else should have been addressed by now. Since this is your first patchset I will carry on but I expect future submissions to be clean.
Hello Mathieu,
All the potential patches for upcoming V4 series applies cleanly but these are some checkpatch.pl errors or warnings which could not be resolved.
