Subject: [PATCH v5 11/15] coresight: trbe: Add a helper to determine the minimum buffer size

For the TRBE to operate, we need a minimum space available to collect
meaningful trace session. This is currently a few bytes, but we may need
to extend this for working around errata. So, abstract this into a helper
function.
