Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6]  coresight: syscfg: Extend configfs for config load

This set extends the configfs support to allow loading and unloading of
configurations as binary files via configfs.

Additional attributes - load and unload are provided to in the
/config/cs-syscfg subsytem base group to implement the load functionality.

Routines to generate binary configuration files are supplied in
./tools/coresight.

Example generator and reader applications are provided.

Tools may be cross compiled or built for use on host system.

Documentation is updated to describe feature usage.

Changes since v4:
1) Update coresight/next - 6.1-rc3
2) Update to lockdep fixes to avoid read lock race in configfs.

Changes since v3:
1) Rebase & tested on coresight/next - 5.19-rc3 - which includes the
fix patch for earlier configfs works.
2) Lockdep investigations resulted in re-design of some of the code
accessing configfs.
3) moved load and unload attributes to root of cs-syscfg. (Mathieu)
4) Additional minor fixes suggested by Mathieu.
5) Memory for configfs loaded and unloaded configurations is now
explicitly freed.
6) LOCKDEP nesting fix for configfs base code (fs/configfs/dir.c)

Changes since v2:
1) Rebased & tested on coresight/next - 5.18-rc2
2) Moved coresight config generator and reader programs from samples to
tools/coresight. Docs updated to match. (suggested by Mathieu)
3) userspace builds now use userspace headers from tools/...
4) Other minor fixes from Mathieu's review.

Changes since v1:
1) Rebased to coresight/next - 5.16-rc1 with previous coresight config
set applied.
2) Makefile.host fixed to default to all target.
