I checked ETMv3 architecture spec (ARM IHI 0014Q), its bit 8 is "branch
output" for all branch address outputting. I am not sure if it is the
same thing between ETMv3's "branch output" and ETMv4's "branch
broadcasting", but it makes sense for me to use bit 8 as an unified
config bit to control these two options for ETMv3 and ETMv4
respectively.
Just note, I understand this patch set is to enable branch broadcasting
for entire memory region rather than using any comparators (see
TRCBBCTLR) to limit branch broadcasting ranges. This is fine for me and
we could enable ranges later.
