    Disable MMIO tracing for geni serial driver to prevent excessive
    logging. Any access over serial console would involve a lot of
    TX and RX register accesses (and few others), so these MMIO
    read/write trace events in these drivers cause a lot of unwanted
    noise because of the high frequency of such operations and it is
    not very useful tracing these events for such drivers.
    Given we want to enable these trace events on development devices
    (maybe not production devices) where performance also really matters
    so that we don't regress other components by wasting CPU cycles and
    memory collecting these traces, it makes more sense to disable these
    traces from such drivers.
    
    Also another reason to disable these traces would be to prevent
    recursive tracing when we display the trace buffer containing
    these MMIO trace events since writing onto serial console would
    further record MMIO traces.
