Series coresight: etm4x: save/restore ETMv4 context across CPU low power states | expand

Commit Message

Some coresight components, because of choices made during hardware
integration, require their state to be saved and restored across CPU low
power states.

The software has no reliable method of detecting when save/restore is
required thus let's add a binding to inform the kernel.

When you resend this set make sure to include the device tree mailing list as
instructed by get_maintainer.pl.  Since this set did not CC the DT list, none of
the maintainers over there will look at your patches.

Sure I'll do that.
