In downstream code, we have an API to check the secure status of the device in TPDM's probe function, to avoid unintentional enable. The downstream API will check the register that controls crash dump functionality in TZ and the crash dump functionality is disabled by default on secure devices.

That's an "eeeh" type solution, crashdump is a separate thing that may be
enabled independently, and some prod devices from certain vendors actually
do that

Please check if there's a coresight-specific fuse instead

Yeah, right
