Subject: [PATCH 1/2] coresight: Set affinity to invalid for missing CPU phandle

Affinity defaults to CPU0 in case of missing CPU phandle
and this leads to crashes in some cases because of such
wrong assumption. Fix this by returning -ENODEV in
coresight platform for such cases and then handle it
in the coresight drivers.
