[PATCH 4/4] coresight: trbe: Workaround TRBE trace data corruption

Tue Jan 4 21:05:59 PST 2022


TRBE implementations affected by Arm erratum #1902691 might corrupt trace
data or deadlock, when it's being written into the memory. Workaround this
problem in the driver, by preventing TRBE initialization on affected cpus.
This adds a new cpu errata in arm64 errata framework and also updates TRBE
driver as required.

+	  trace data.
+
