Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/20] coresight: etb10: adding snapshot mode feature

Snapshot mode works by accumulating traces in the ring buffer
until a user-space controlled event occurs.  Traces are allowed
to wrap around when the end of the ring buffer has been reached,
providing the latest and greatest information at all time.

This patch implements this feature by not checking for the end
of the ring buffer and setting the 'head' of the buffer to
the next available address.

Signed-off-by: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@...aro.org>
