Subject: [PATCH 3/6] coresight: tmc-etr: Relax collection of trace from sysfs mode
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 15:16:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531318599-8840-4-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1531318599-8840-1-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>

Since the ETR now uses mode specific buffers, we can reliably
provide the trace data captured in sysfs mode, even when the ETR
is operating in PERF mode.
