Hmm... patch failed to apply on the top of linux-next. It seems that
coresight.txt suffered some changes after your patch:

commit cd84d63a2983ee2d386ff5a020c2c36562e4ef68
Author: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Jun 10 19:02:42 2019 +0100

Documentation: coresight: Update the generic device names

Update the documentation to reflect the new naming scheme with
latest changes.

Except for that, the conversion seems fine.
