This series adds CPU erratum work arounds related to the self-hosted
tracing. The list of affected errata handled in this series are :

 * TRBE may overwrite trace in FILL mode
   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2139208
   - Cortex-A710	#211985

 * A TSB instruction may not flush the trace completely when executed
   in trace prohibited region.

   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2067961
   - Cortex-A710	#2054223

 * TRBE may write to out-of-range address
   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2253138
   - Cortex-A710	#2224489

The series applies on the self-hosted/trbe fixes posted here [0].
A tree containing both the series is available here [1]

Changes since v1:
 https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210728135217.591173-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com
 - Added a fix to the TRBE driver handling of sink_specific data
 - Added more description and ASCII art for overwrite in FILL mode
   work around 
 - Added another TRBE erratum to the list.
  "TRBE may write to out-of-range address"
  Patches from 12-17
 - Added comment to list the expectations around TSB erratum workaround.
