[PATCH v2 01/12] dt-bindings: Add RISC-V trace component bindings

Add device tree bindings for the memory mapped RISC-V trace components
which support both the RISC-V efficient trace (E-trace) protocol and
the RISC-V Nexus-based trace (N-trace) protocol.

The RISC-V trace components are defined by the RISC-V trace control
interface specification.

+description:
+  The RISC-V trace control interface specification standard memory mapped
+  components (or devices) which support both the RISC-V efficient trace
+  (E-trace) protocol and the RISC-V Nexus-based trace (N-trace) protocol.
+  The RISC-V trace components have implementation specific directed acyclic
+  graph style interdependency where output of one component serves as input
+  to another component and certain components (such as funnel) can take inputs
+  from multiple components. The type and version of a RISC-V trace component
+  can be discovered from it's IMPL memory mapped register hence component
+  specific compatible strings are not needed.
