I am now writing a HW trace driver that extracts traces from the CMI
and PMI IP blocks (and later L2CC). It is still in early development
status.

The idea I have in mind is to have the implementation in
drivers/power/hw_trace. Eventually this directory would contain the
drivers for ETM/ETB, CMI, PMI and also the coresight support. It would
be architected so that the lower level drivers export the necessary
functions for the higher level code to use the resource. Example: the
PMI driver would use the ETB and coresight drivers.

What do you think?

Regards,
Jean
