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.

You're right. I got it confused with the v8.4 SelfHosted Extensions, which
mandates the sysreg access and makes the mem I/O obsolete. How about :

	"arm,coresight-etm4x-sysreg" ?

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?

I will take a look, haven't played with the yaml.

Thanks for the review !
