The driver has been implemented in accordance to ARM's coresight
technical reference manual and expects the HW to behave in accordance
to that specification.  Here we want to make sure the IP on your board
is conformant to the same specification.  If not then the driver needs
to be made flexible to handle both kind IPs.

Very well.
