I have another proposal: what if we allocate the ATID in trace_noc_id() when
the device does not already have a valid ATID?

Possible scenarios:

If the itnoc device is connected to a TPDM device (which has no ATID),
trace_noc_id() will be invoked via coresight_path_assign_trace_id(), and a
valid ATID can be allocated for the path.

If the itnoc device is connected to sources other than TPDM, trace_noc_id()
will never be invoked, and therefore no ATID will be allocated for the
device, saving resources.

TBH, I'm not sure I can make a judgement here, as I don't have enough
knowledge of the topology. And I'm not sure whether the listed
connections cover all possible cases.

I also found commit 5799dee92dc2:

| This patch adds platform driver support for the CoreSight Interconnect
| TNOC, Interconnect TNOC is a CoreSight link that forwards trace data

With your proposal, wouldn't ATID be allocated for the interconnect
TNOC while being skipped for the Aggregator TNOC? That seems to
contradict the commit log.

The ATID is allocated to the Aggregator TNOC during probe. The "WA" in driver definitely break the original design.


Can I fix the issue by adding "arm,primecell-periphid" property. That's would be the best temp solution as it avoids breaking the original design of both the TraceNoC AMBA driver and interconnect TraceNoC platform driver.

The TraceNoC device here must be treated as an AMBA device and I am continuing to investigate the issue with our hardware team. We aim to fix it from hardware perspetive for existing platforms if possible and ensure it is fixed in future platforms.

Thanks,
Jie
