Add initial set of CoreSight components found on Qualcomm's 8x16 chipset.


+???????replicator at 824000 {
+               compatible = "qcom,coresight-replicator", "arm,primecell";
Shouldn't it be "qcom,coresight-replicator1x" ?


True, I still wonder, why we have to have this compatible string?
Drivers are probed by amba_id and "arm,primecell", after all.
Drivers have their own compatible strings for historical reasons,
something I've been meaning to fix for a long time now...
Yep, I see that they have been platform drivers in the past, but now 
they are not, except coresight-replicator driver. IMHO, having
additional compatible string could lead just to confusion.

Ivan
