It's impossible to program a valid value for TRCCONFIGR.QE when TRCIDR0.QSUPP==0b10. In that case the following is true:
Q element support is implemented, and only supports Q elements without instruction counts. TRCCONFIGR.QE can only take the values 0b00 or 0b11.
Currently the low bit of QSUPP is checked to see if the low bit of QE can be written to, but as you can see when QSUPP==0b10 the low bit is cleared making it impossible to ever write the only valid value of 0b11 to QE. 0b10 would be written instead, which is a reserved QE value even for all values of QSUPP.
The fix is to allow writing the low bit of QE for any non zero value of QSUPP.
This change doesn't go any further to validate if the user supplied value is valid, because none of the other parts this function do, but it does fix the case where it was impossible to ever set a valid value.
