This module is used on Hip08 platform, to store trace data from ETM, you 
can find the data path diagram in kernel document patch.

And this module is developed by Ultrasoc technology, which is acquired 
by Siemens, we still use "Ultrasoc" to name document and structures.

At the beginning we use the ultrasoc.c as a framework to adapt multiple 
hardware devices and support more capabilities. But after discussing 
with suppliers, we are only allowed to upstream the axi-com and smb driver.

So the software architecture seems unreasonable now, I'll refactor it in 
next version, thanks.
