Hi Suzuki,

Sure. I will add the documentation for TPDA and TPDM.

Could you please review patches below which don't have your reviewed by 
tag ?
If you have comments, I will update in next version along with the 
documentation for TPDA and TPDM.

Coresight: Add TPDA link driver
arm64: dts: qcom: sm8250: Add tpdm mm/prng

Thanks
