[PATCH v19 2/7] coresight: tmc: add create/clean functions for etr_buf_list
From: Jie Gan
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 06:49:30 EST
Introduce functions for creating and inserting or removing the
etr_buf_node to/from the etr_buf_list.
The byte-cntr functionality requires two etr_buf to receive trace data.
The active etr_buf collects the trace data from source device, while the
byte-cntr reading function accesses the deactivated etr_buf after is
has been filled and synced, transferring data to the userspace.
