+Coresight Dummy Trace Module

+
+Introduction
+---------------------------
+
+Coresight Dummy Trace Module is for the specific devices that HLOS don't
+have permission to access or configure. Such as Coresight sink EUD, some
+TPDMs etc. So there need driver to register dummy devices as Coresight
+devices. Provide Coresight API for dummy device operations, such as
+enabling and disabling dummy devices. Build the Coresight path for dummy
+sink or dummy source for debugging.
+
+Sysfs files and directories
+---------------------------
+
+Root: ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices/dummy<N>``
+
+----
+
+:File:            ``enable_source`` (RW)
+:Notes:
+    - > 0 : enable the datasets of dummy source.
+
+    - = 0 : disable the datasets of dummy source.
+
+:Syntax:
+    ``echo 1 > enable_source``
+
+----
+
+:File:            ``enable_sink`` (RW)
+:Notes:
+    - > 0 : enable the datasets of dummy sink.
+
+    - = 0 : disable the datasets of dummy sink.
+
+:Syntax:
+    ``echo 1 > enable_sink``

+
+Config details
+---------------------------
+
+There are two types of nodes, dummy sink and dummy source. The nodes
+should be observed at the coresight path
+"/sys/bus/coresight/devices".
+e.g.
+/sys/bus/coresight/devices # ls -l | grep dummy
+dummy0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@...oc@0:dummy_source/dummy0
+dummy1 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@...oc@0:dummy_sink/dummy1
