Document the device tree bindings for Embedded Trace Extensions.
ETE can be connected to legacy coresight components and thus
could optionally contain a connection graph as described by
the CoreSight bindings.

+description: |
+  Arm Embedded Trace Extension(ETE) is a per CPU trace component that
+  allows tracing the CPU execution. It overlaps with the CoreSight ETMv4
+  architecture and has extended support for future architecture changes.
+  The trace generated by the ETE could be stored via legacy CoreSight
+  components (e.g, TMC-ETR) or other means (e.g, using a per CPU buffer
+  Arm Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE)). Since the ETE can be connected to
+  legacy CoreSight components, a node must be listed per instance, along
+  with any optional connection graph as per the coresight bindings.
+  See bindings/arm/coresight.txt.

s/port/ports/

Ok.

And then you need:

        properties:
          port:
            description: what this port is
            $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port

Isn't this already covered by the definition of ports ? There are no 
fixed connections for ETE. It is optional and could be connected to
any legacy CoreSight component. i.e, a "ports" object can have port
objects inside.

Given we have defined out-ports as an object "confirming to the ports"
do we need to describe the individual port nodes ?

Cheers
Suzuki
