Don't think this is an issue.

In the previous mechanism, with an ETM with an erratum - or indeed
need of some arch specific extension as we allow now - someone would
have added the PID - tested it, hit the erratum, and would have to
investigate and fix according to what is required. This changes
nothing in terms of handling errata on ETM hardware - it just removes
the add PID step.

For new ETM that work out of the box, this saves time re-spinning the
driver every time - which is kind of what we want from device tree!

I'd go for it.

Moreover, the same principle could be added to the CTI drivers -
though these are generally pretty standard anyway (i.e. based on
Coresight Soc 600/400), so may be no pressing need for this right now.
