The full name of DSB is "Discrete Single Bit".

The DSB element size supported by different DSB subunit TPDMs is 
different, so TPDA needs to be informed through configuration in device 
tree.

TPDA(Trace, Profiling and Diagnostics Aggregator) is to provide 
packetization, funneling and timestamping of TPDM data.

Multiple monitors are connected to different input ports of TPDA.

                       ------------------

There may be multiple DSB subunit TPDMs connected to different input 
ports of the same TPDA, so we need to use port here to define the 
distinction in device tree.
