nit: Subject should be :

[PATCH <version> 0/X] <subsystem>: <component>: <Title>

in this case case:

<version> = NULL if version == 1
           = version, otherwise
Helps us to keep track of different versions of the postings.

<subsystem> == coresight

This helps the reviewers to "notice" or "ignore" a given series
depending on their interest.

<component> == etm4x
This further helps the reviewers to filter the mails within a subsystem.

[PATCH v2 0/3] coresight: etm4x: Support for Ampere computing

Also, please include a changelog from the previous version to indicate
what has changed. e.g,

"Changes since v1:
   - Modified xyz
   - Dropped abc
   - Addressed comments on ijk (<name of the requester>
"

That helps the reviewers to get a picture of what they should be looking
at and better spend their time.

Kind regards
Suzuki
