No, it is not supposed to work on an ETE without the ETE support. That check
ensures that we only detect ETMv4x for now. The ETE driver support adds the
ETE_ARCH as one of the supported ETMs. If you hack around it might still probe,
but things could go terribly wrong if we access registers that are not available
on ETE.

Btw, are you able to test this series on an ETMv4.4+ system ?

Kind regards
