[PATCH v2 16/27] coresight: tmc-etr: Add transparent buffer management

[Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com>]

At the moment we always use contiguous memory for TMC ETR tracing
when used from sysfs. The size of the buffer is fixed at boot time
and can only be changed by modifiying the DT. With the introduction
of SG support we could support really large buffers in that mode.
This patch abstracts the buffer used for ETR to switch between a
contiguous buffer or a SG table depending on the availability of
the memory.

This also enables the sysfs mode to use the ETR in SG mode depending
on configured the trace buffer size. Also, since ETR will use the
new infrastructure to manage the buffer, we can get rid of some
of the members in the tmc_drvdata and clean up the fields a bit.
