Coresight patches flow through Greg's tree and as such the coresight-next tree
gets rebased anyway.  I will remove the first 4 patches and push again.  By the
way do you also want to pick up patches 14 and 16 since they are concerned with
"arch/arm64/Kconfig" or should I keep them?

Thanks,
Mathieu
