CoreSight components are compliant with the ARM CoreSight
architecture specification and can be connected in various
topologies to suit a particular SoC tracing needs. These trace
components can generally be classified as sources, links and
sinks. Trace data produced by one or more sources flows through
the intermediate links connecting the source to the currently
selected sink.

The CoreSight framework provides an interface for the CoreSight trace
drivers to register themselves with. It's intended to build up a
topological view of the CoreSight components and configure the
correct serie of components on user input via sysfs.

For eg., when enabling a source, the framework builds up a path
consisting of all the components connecting the source to the
currently selected sink(s) and enables all of them.

The framework also supports switching between available sinks
and provides status information to user space applications
through the debugfs interface.

You don't seem to document the sysfs files you create here in
Documentation/ABI/ anywhere in the series.  Can you fix that up?
Thanks for the review.   Do you want sysfs entries documented for the
framework only or all the ones created by the drivers as well?
All need to be documented.

Other than that minor nit, this looks good to me.  Feel free to take it
through some random ARM tree.
Wait, did you want me to take this through my tree?  If so, I'll be glad
to do so, I can't remember what we talked about here...
I was hoping to go through yours.
Ok, I can take it, can you send me a follow-on patch for the sysfs
files?

thanks,
