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.
