Document the device tree bindings for Embedded Trace Extensions. ETE can be connected to legacy coresight components and thus could optionally contain a connection graph as described by the CoreSight bindings.

- Arm Embedded Trace Extension(ETE) is a per CPU trace component that
- allows tracing the CPU execution. It overlaps with the CoreSight ETMv4
- architecture and has extended support for future architecture changes.
- The trace generated by the ETE could be stored via legacy CoreSight
- components (e.g, TMC-ETR) or other means (e.g, using a per CPU buffer
- Arm Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE)). Since the ETE can be connected to
- legacy CoreSight components, a node must be listed per instance, along
- with any optional connection graph as per the coresight bindings.
- See bindings/arm/coresight.txt.
+properties:
- $nodename:
- pattern: "^ete([0-9a-f]+)$"
- compatible:

- const: arm,embedded-trace-extension- cpu:
We've already established 'cpus' for this purpose.
Please see : https://lkml.kernel.org/r/9417218b-6eda-373b-a2cb-869089ffc7cd@arm.com for my response in the previous version to this and the one with out-ports.
Okay, fair enough.
- description: |
Handle to the cpu this ETE is bound to.- $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
- out-ports:
- type: object
Replace with: $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/ports
So, just to confirm again : The CoreSight graph bindings expect the input ports and output ports grouped under in-ports{} and out-ports{} respectively to avoid having to specify the direction of the ports in the individual "port" nodes. i.e
in-ports {
property: ports OR property: port
required: OneOf: ports port
No, 'ports' as a child of in-ports is not correct. There should only be 'port(@[0-9a-f]+)?' nodes. That's why you need the above $ref added. The $ref doesn't define the node name is 'ports', but what a 'ports' or 'foo-ports' contains.
Sorry, it is my bad. We don't expect ports{} under in-ports. So your suggestion is the accurate one. I will respin.
}
out-ports {
# same as above }
So thats why I added out-ports as a new object, where the ports/port could be a child node.
Ideally the definition of out-ports /in-ports should go to a common schema for CoreSight bindings, when we move to Yaml for the existing bindings, which will follow in a separate series, later.
Yes, maybe, but I'm not sure something common is going to help here. You'll still have to describe what each 'port' node does in each device specific binding.
For CoreSight components the end-point of the ports are system specific. i.e, it could be anything on the other end. There is no fixed end-point connection.
e.g, ETM could be connected to a Replicator or a Funnel. Same as here above for ETE. Thus the driver must parse the endpoints and make the connection path from devices to other devices.
Anyways, will come to that in a different series.
I will fix the in-ports/out-ports for the next version.
Thanks for your guidance.
Cheers Suzuki
