Suzuki K Poulose 13ec3c238f coresight: etm4x: Do not access TRCIDR1 for identification
commit 735e7b30a5 upstream.

CoreSight ETM4x architecture clearly provides ways to identify a device
via registers in the "Management" class, TRCDEVARCH and TRCDEVTYPE. These
registers can be accessed without the Trace domain being powered on.
We additionally added TRCIDR1 as fallback in order to cover for any
ETMs that may not have implemented TRCDEVARCH. So far, nobody has
reported hitting a WARNING we placed to catch such systems.

Also, more importantly it is problematic to access TRCIDR1, which is a
"Trace" register via MMIO access, without clearing the OSLK. But we cannot
mess with the OSLK until we know for sure that this is an ETMv4 device.
Thus, this kind of creates a chicken and egg problem unnecessarily for
systems "which are compliant" to the ETMv4 architecture.

Let us remove the TRCIDR1 fall back check and rely only on TRCDEVARCH.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
