We have two choices here:

1) Follow what is already done in this function for implementation define
options like ETM_MODE_BB, ETMv4_MODE_CTXID, ETM_MODE_RETURNSTACK and others.  In
that case we would have:

        /* bit[8], Instruction stall bit */
        if ((config->mode & ETM_MODE_ISTALL_EN) && drvdata->stallctl == true))
                config->stall_ctrl |= BIT(8);
        else    
                config->stall_ctrl &= ~BIT(8); 

2) Return -EINVAL when something is not supported, like you have above.  In that
case we'd have to enact the same behavior for all the options, which has the
potential of breaking user space.

I think option 1 is best.

Thanks,
Mathieu
