When enabled, all taken branch addresses are output, even if the branch was because of a direct branch instruction. This enables reconstruction of the program flow without having access to the memory image of the code being executed. Use bit 8 for the config option which would be the correct bit for programming ETMv3. Although branch broadcast can't be enabled on ETMv3 because it's not in the define ETM3X_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS, using the correct bit might help prevent future collisions or allow it to be enabled if needed.

nit: For consistent styling, I would recommend to wrap the else case
also in { }.
Otherwise looks good to me.
