Re: [PATCH] visl: use canonical ftrace path

Also in: linux-media, lkml

Could this go through the linux-media tree, or if you give it an Ack, I'll
take it through the tracing tree.

From: Ross Zwisler <redacted>

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

  Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
  file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
  For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
  the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Update the visl decoder driver documentation to use this tracefs path.
