This series adds three different workarounds in the TRBE driver for
Cortex-A510 specific erratas. But first, this adds Cortex-A510 specific cpu
part number definition in the platform. This series applies on 5.16.

Relevant errata documents can be found here.

Changes in V3:

- Moved the comment inside trbe_needs_drain_after_disable()
- Moved the comment inside trbe_needs_ctxt_sync_after_enable()

Changes in V2:

Accommodated most review comments from the previous version.

- Split all patches into CPU errata definition, detection and TRBE workarounds
- s/TRBE_WORKAROUND_SYSREG_WRITE_FAILURE/TRBE_NEEDS_DRAIN_AFTER_DISABLE
- s/TRBE_WORKAROUND_CORRUPTION_WITH_ENABLE/TRBE_NEEDS_CTXT_SYNC_AFTER_ENABLE
- s/trbe_may_fail_sysreg_write()/trbe_needs_drain_after_disable()
- s/trbe_may_corrupt_with_enable()/trbe_needs_ctxt_sync_after_enable()
- Updated Kconfig help message for config ARM64_ERRATUM_1902691
- Updated error message for trbe_is_broken() detection
- Added new trblimitr parameter to set_trbe_enabled(), improving performance
- Added COMPILE_TEST dependency in the errata, until TRBE part is available

Anshuman Khandual (7):
arm64: Add Cortex-A510 CPU part definition
arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE ignored system register writes
arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE invalid prohibited states
arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE trace data corruption
coresight: trbe: Work around the ignored system register writes
coresight: trbe: Work around the invalid prohibited states
coresight: trbe: Work around the trace data corruption

Hello Catalin/Mathieu,

I am wondering how this series is going to be merged i.e via arm64 or coresight
tree ? Also will this require rebasing (and resend) against v5.17-rc1 release.
Please do suggest. Thank you.

I would recommend rebasing on rc1.

Thanks
Suzuki
