Device Naming scheme

The devices that appear on the "coresight" bus were named the same as their
parent devices, i.e, the real devices that appears on AMBA bus or the platform bus.
Thus the names were based on the Linux Open Firmware layer naming convention,
which follows the base physical address of the device followed by the device
