[PATCH v10 00/20] CoreSight: Refactor power management for CoreSight path

This series focuses on CoreSight path power management. The changes can
be divided into four parts for review:
Patches 01 - 04: Refactor the CPU ID storing in csdev, later patches
consume csdev->cpu. Move CPU lock to sysfs layer so
it is safe for later changes.
Patches 05 - 09: Refactor the CPU idle flow with moving common code into
the CoreSight core layer.
Patches 10 - 15: Refactor path enabling and disabling with range, add
path control during CPU idle.
Patches 16 - 17: Support the sink (TRBE) control during CPU idle.
Patches 18 - 20: Move CPU hotplug into the core layer, and fix sysfs
mode for hotplug.
This series is rebased on the coresight-next branch and has been verified
on Juno-r2 (ETM + ETR) and FVP RevC (ETE + TRBE). Built successfully
for armv7 (ARCH=arm).

Changes in v10:
- Removed redundant checks in ETMv4 PM callbacks (sashiko).
- Added a new const structure etm4_cs_pm_ops (sashiko).
- Used fine-grained spinlock on sysfs_active_config (sashiko).
- Blocked notification after failures in save / restore to avoid lockups.
- Changed Change CPUHP_AP_ARM_CORESIGHT_STARTING to
CPUHP_AP_ARM_CORESIGHT_ONLINE so that the CPU hotplug callback runs in
the thread context (sashiko).
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260401-arm_coresight_path_power_management_improvement-v9-0-091d73e44072@arm.com
Changes in v9:
- Changed to use per-CPU path pointer with lockless access.
- Removed the change for adding csdev->path, the related refactoring
will be sent separately.
- Re-orged patches to avoid intermediate breakage (sashiko).
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260325-arm_coresight_path_power_management_improvement-v8-0-7b1902e18041@arm.com
Changes in v8:
- Moved the "cpu" field in coresight_device for better pack with new
patch 01 (Suzuki).
- Added check if not set CPU for per_cpu_source/per_cpu_sink (Suzuki).
- Renamed spinlock name in syscfg (Suzuki).
- Refactored paired enable and disable path with new patches
10 and 12 (Suzuki).
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260320-arm_coresight_path_power_management_improvement-v7-0-327ddd36b58b@arm.com
Changes in v7:
- Added a flag in coresight_desc to indicate CPU bound device (Suzuki).
- Used coresight_mutex to protect per-CPU source pointer (Suzuki).
- Added a spinlock for exclusive access per-CPU source pointer (Suzuki).
- Dropped .pm_is_needed() callback (Suzuki).
- Supported range in path enabling / disabling (Suzuki).
- Gathered test and review tags (Levi / James).
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260305-arm_coresight_path_power_management_improvement-v6-0-eff765d211a9@arm.com
