Any version of ETM can implement register access - including those pre
ETM 4.4. Perhaps the new name should simply reflect sys reg access
rather than a version.

Given that the two compatibility strings should be mutually exclusive
for a given device, should the bindings doc (or at least the etm4x
component part) be re-written into the .yaml format so that this can
be enforced?

Regards

Mike
