Agreed and in fact this was part of the header file in my initial versions.
I could move it back there. However, the ETM4x even without this series doesn't
support aarch32. The compilation would fail for various reasons (e.g, readq()).

Agreed, will fix it.

I will address this in the next version. I believe we could work around
the problem of missing TRCDEVARCH on older platforms.

Thanks a lot for the review !
