Earlier one was an RFC so I had made it v1.

The hardware being on FPGA is configurable what capabilities it will have.
Once chosen to have say the trace it will have tracing capabilities else it will not have.

Similarly whether event logging capabilities will be there in the hardware is configurable.
If enabled then it have event logging capabilities.

I tried to address the comments in 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/BY5PR12MB4902474D74155E57BF5D7B9C814F9@BY5PR12MB4902.namprd12.prod.outlook.com/

I thought I have implemented all the comments.  Let me know if I missed something.
