They're not required for general purpose system operation: they're
protected by an if CORESIGHT.  All the other CORESIGHT symbols select
CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS except CORESIGHT_CPU_DEBUG, which doesn't
need to be protected by the if CORESIGHT.

Right, they are required for tracing using the Coresight subsystem, not
general purpose system operation, so they can be 'default y' under 'if
CORESIGHT' protection.
