Ampere ETMv4.x support. Added Ampere ETM ID, and changes required by the Ampere ETMv4.x hardware implementation.
nit: Subject should be :
[PATCH <version> 0/X] <subsystem>: <component>: <Title>
in this case case:
<version> = NULL if version == 1 = version, otherwise Helps us to keep track of different versions of the postings.
<subsystem> == coresight
This helps the reviewers to "notice" or "ignore" a given series depending on their interest.
<component> == etm4x This further helps the reviewers to filter the mails within a subsystem.
[PATCH v2 0/3] coresight: etm4x: Support for Ampere computing
Also, please include a changelog from the previous version to indicate what has changed. e.g,
"Changes since v1: - Modified xyz - Dropped abc - Addressed comments on ijk (<name of the requester> "
That helps the reviewers to get a picture of what they should be looking at and better spend their time.
Kind regards Suzuki
