This patch series adds register read/write event tracing
support. Qualcomm team tried upstreaming the register
trace buffer solution - [1] with pstore and dynamic debug
feature but that patch series didn't merge. I have followed
Steve suggestion from -[2] and used tracepoint_enabled() API.

[2] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200928105501.7e29df65@oasis.local.home/ 

Qualcomm teams uses these logs for debugging various issues
in the product life cycle and hopping that this logging
would help other silicon vendors as this is generic approach.

v1 -> v2:
- Removed _no_log variant
- tracepoint_enabled api is used.
- Added depends on ARM64
