[PATCH] Adding Support for Coresight Components on Zynq 7000.

The Coresight components are present on the Zynq SoC but the corresponding
device tree entries are missing. This patch adds device tree entries for
coresight components while explaining how it was done in order to allow
porting towards other boards easily.

By adding the entries for Coresight components in the device tree: if no
files are created in sysfile system, you need to contact the board designer
to sort out the problem. On some boards, Coresight components are not
powered on boot.

The documentation file was very helpful
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/coresight.txt). However, few details
can be added to make it more clear for beginners.

Things to modify in device tree when changing the board are mainly:

- address
- `clocks` field
- some references in other entries may be missing (e.g. for `CPU` field in
   ETM/PTM component, references need to be created)

Furthermore, the `reg` field should be adapted according to
`#address-cells` and `#size-cells`. It may appear obvious, not for
beginners.

## Testing

The trace sink components need to be enabled by accessing through sysfile
system.

     echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/@addr.etb/enable\_sink

Then enable the CS source component:

     echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/@addr.ptm/enable\_source

By default, CS Source components are configured to trace the kernel.

Then the trace can be read by dumping ETB.

     dd if=/dev/@addr.etb of=trace_kernel.bin

The trace can be visualized by:

     hexdump -C trace_kernel.bin

Or stored using:

     hexdump -C trace_kernel.bin > trace_kernel.txt

The trace need to be decoded to be readable. All these above steps can now
be performed with Perf Library which was not available at the time I was
playing with DT entries.
