IIUC a system with CONFIG_CORESIGHT_TRBE enabled but without a TRBE DT
i.e "arm,trace-buffer-extension" complains about kernel space unmapping
at EL0 (even though it does not even really have TRBE HW to initialize).

Makes sense.

Could you please add a similar comment like SPE driver regarding how
the TRBE buffer will be inaccessible, if kernel gets unmapped at EL0
and trace capture will terminate.
