Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: riscv: Add trace components description

From: Chen Pei <cp0613@...ux.alibaba.com>

This patch has added property definitions related to the riscv
trace component, providing a foundation for subsequent driver
implementations.

The RISC-V Trace Control Interface can be found in [1].
Some principles are as follows:
1. Trace has three types of components:
1.1 Encoder: Collects CPU execution information through the
    Ingress Port and generates Trace Messages.
1.2 Funnel: Used to integrate multiple trace sources.
1.3 Sink: Used to store trace data.
2. Each hart requires one trace encoder.
3. When there are multiple trace sources, a trace funnel component
   is needed to integrate them. One trace funnel is required for
   each cluster.
4. When multiple trace funnels are fed into a single trace sink,
   multiple levels of trace funnels are required.
5. If there is only one cluster, the trace funnel (Level 0) can be
   connected directly to the trace sink.

Taking [cpu0]-->[encoder0]-->[funnel0]-->[sink0] as an example,
the DTS configuration is as follows:

    encoder0: trace_encoder@...01000 {
        compatible = "riscv_trace,encoder-controller";
        reg = <0x0 0x26001000 0x0 0x1000>;
        cpu = <&cpu0>;
        output_port {
            port0 {
                endpoint = <&funnel0>;
            };
        };
    };

    funnel0: trace_funnel@...04000 {
        compatible = "riscv_trace,funnel-controller";
        reg = <0x0 0x26404000 0x0 0x1000>;
        level = <1>;
        input_port {
            port0 {
                endpoint = <&encoder0>;
            };
        };
        output_port {
            port0 {
                endpoint = <&sink0>;
            };
        };
    };

    sink0: trace_sink@...01000 {
        compatible = "riscv_trace,sink-controller";
        reg = <0x0 0x26401000 0x0 0x1000>;
        input_port {
            port0 {
                endpoint = <&funnel0>;
            };
        };
    };

Note: The detailed property definition of each component will be
provided in the subsequent series of patches.
