Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] coresight: perf: Support for tmc-etr backed buffers

This series adds the support for using the tmc-etr in perf mode for
storing the trace to system RAM. The ETR uses a separate buffer (double
buffering) for storing the trace. This is copied back to the ring buffer
when the event is stopped. We try to match the ETR buffer to the larger
of perf ring buffer or the size configured for the ETR via sysfs. This
allows tuning the buffer size to prevent overflows and loosing trace
data, as we don't have overflow interrupt support (yet).

Applies on coresight/next

Changes since v1 :
 - Fix path for each CPU where the event might be recorded.
 - Handle errors in enabling source
 - Remove set_buffer callback to avoid complicating the error handling.
 - Fix a bug in handling sysfs mode specific buffers

Changes since [0] :
 - Drop buffer rotation logic for etr-buf
 - Do not use perf ring buffer. (Add support later)
 - Fix handling of sink, preventing mixed modes of operation.

[0] - TMC ETR perf support
