[PATCH 03/11] coresight: tmc-etr: Do not clean trace buffer

From: suzuki.poulose@arm.com (Suzuki K Poulose)
Date: 2018-05-18 16:39:43
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm/coresight framework and drivers, hardware tracing facilities, the rest · Maintainers: Suzuki K Poulose, Alexander Shishkin, Linus Torvalds

We zero out the entire trace buffer used for ETR before it is enabled,
for helping with debugging. With the addition of scatter-gather mode,
the buffer could be bigger and non-contiguous.

Get rid of this step; if someone wants to debug, they can always add it
as and when needed.
