[PATCH 06/11] dts: bindings: Document device tree bindings for ETE

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose at arm.com>

Document the device tree bindings for Embedded Trace Extensions.
ETE can be connected to legacy coresight components and thus
could optionally contain a connection graph as described by
the CoreSight bindings.

+Arm Embedded Trace Extensions
+
+Arm Embedded Trace Extensions (ETE) is a per CPU trace component that
+allows tracing the CPU execution. It overlaps with the CoreSight ETMv4
+architecture and has extended support for future architecture changes.
+The trace generated by the ETE could be stored via legacy CoreSight
+components (e.g, TMC-ETR) or other means (e.g, using a per CPU buffer
+Arm Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE)). Since the ETE can be connected to
+legacy CoreSight components, a node must be listed per instance, along
+with any optional connection graph as per the coresight bindings.
+See bindings/arm/coresight.txt.
+
+** ETE Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be one of:
+	"arm,embedded-trace-extensions"
+
+- cpu : the CPU phandle this ETE belongs to.
+
+** Optional properties:
+- CoreSight connection graph, see bindings/arm/coresight.txt.
+
+** Example:
+
+ete_0 {
+	compatible = "arm,embedded-trace-extension";
+	cpu = <&cpu_0>;
+};
+
+ete_1 {
+	compatible = "arm,embedded-trace-extension";
+	cpu = <&cpu_1>;
+
+	out-ports {	/* legacy CoreSight connection */
+		port {
+			ete1_out_port: endpoint at 0 {
+				remote-endpoint = <&funnel_in_port0>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+};
