Updates the STM driver to use the trace ID allocation API. This uses the _system_id calls to allocate an ID on device poll, and release on device remove.
The sysfs access to the STMTRACEIDR register has been changed from RW to RO. Having this value as writable is not appropriate for the new Trace ID scheme - and had potential to cause errors in the previous scheme if values clashed with other sources.

trace_id = coresight_trace_id_get_system_id();if (trace_id < 0) {The above API returns "INVALID_ID" and not a negative error status. I think it is better to fix the API to return:
ret < 0 - If there is any error - Otherwise a positive integerAnd the users should be kept unaware of which ID is valid or invalid.
coresight_trace_id_get_system_id() returns the ID if one can be allocated or -EINVAL if not.
Not sure what you are looking at here.
Sorry, indeed I was mistaken there. It is the get_cpu_id() which returns the INVALID_ID on failure. Please could we make that consistent with this scheme ? i.e, < 0 on error.
That also returns -EINVAL, as both call the same underlying allocator.
However happy to add on the comments for the exported functions

Mike
Also, please could we add a comment above the exported functions on their entry/exit criteria ? It is not clearly evident, unless we follow the code and figure out.
Cheers Suzuki
