[PATCH v5 0/5] Fix traceNoC probe issue on multiple QCOM platforms

The CoreSight TNOC (Trace Network-On-Chip) binding so far only allowed the
two-string AMBA form "qcom,coresight-tnoc", "arm,primecell". That form
forces the device onto the AMBA bus, where the driver must read the
peripheral ID from the device registers during probe. On several QCOM
platforms this AMBA peripheral-ID probing fails, so the traceNoC device
never probes and its trace path is unavailable.

This series drops the "arm,primecell" entry and turns "qcom,coresight-tnoc"
into a standalone platform compatible. Without "arm,primecell" the device
is created on the platform bus and probes through the platform driver by
compatible string, bypassing the AMBA peripheral-ID read while remaining a
fully functional Aggregator TNOC that allocates a system trace ID (ATID).

The series is organized as: binding first, then the driver support for the
platform-bus compatible, followed by the per-platform DT fixes that switch
the affected nodes over to it.

- Patch 1 (dt-bindings) drops "arm,primecell" and makes
"qcom,coresight-tnoc" a single standalone compatible, and updates the
example node accordingly.
- Patch 2 (driver) adds "qcom,coresight-tnoc" to the platform driver's
match table and renames the itnoc-specific names to generic tnoc names,
since the platform driver now serves both the Interconnect and Aggregator
TNOC. It also restricts the ATID-unsupported handling to
"qcom,coresight-itnoc" only, so the Aggregator TNOC on the platform bus is
no longer wrongly covered and correctly allocates a trace ID.
- Patches 3-4 (kaanapali, sm8750) drop the "arm,primecell" entry on the
traceNoC nodes and use the standalone "qcom,coresight-tnoc" compatible,
fixing the probe failure on those platforms.
- Patch 5 (glymur) switches the node from "qcom,coresight-itnoc" to
"qcom,coresight-tnoc". This node is actually an Aggregator TNOC (its
tn_ag_* endpoints show aggregation), so it should expose a system trace
ID rather than being treated as an Interconnect TNOC.

Changes in v5:
- Drop the separate "qcom,coresight-agtnoc" compatible. Instead drop the
  "arm,primecell" entry and reuse the existing "qcom,coresight-tnoc" as a
  standalone platform compatible.
- Update the binding, driver match table, and per-platform DT nodes to the
  standalone "qcom,coresight-tnoc" compatible accordingly.
- Rewrite the commit messages to describe dropping "arm,primecell" and
  binding on the platform bus.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260701-fix-tracenoc-probe-issue-v4-0-aefab449a470@oss.qualcomm.com
