coresight: stm: adding driver for CoreSight STM component

This driver adds support for the STM CoreSight IP block, allowing any
system compoment (HW or SW) to log and aggregate messages via a
single entity.

The CoreSight STM exposes an application defined number of channels
called stimulus port.  Configuration is done using entries in sysfs
and channels made available to userspace via configfs.

Description: (RW) Enable/disable tracing on this specific trace macrocell.
Enabling the trace macrocell implies it has been configured
properly and a sink has been identified for it. The path
of coresight components linking the source to the sink is
configured and managed automatically by the coresight framework.

How to use the STM module
-------------------------
Using the System Trace Macrocell module is the same as the tracers - the only
difference is that clients are driving the trace capture rather
than the program flow through the code.
As with any other CoreSight component, specifics about the STM tracer can be
found in sysfs with more information on each entry being found in [1]:
root@genericarmv8:~# ls /sys/bus/coresight/devices/20100000.stm
enable_source hwevent_select port_enable subsystem uevent
hwevent_enable mgmt port_select traceid
root@genericarmv8:~#
Like any other source a sink needs to be identified and the STM enabled before
being used:
root@genericarmv8:~# echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/20010000.etf/enable_sink
root@genericarmv8:~# echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/20100000.stm/enable_source
From there user space applications can request and use channels using the devfs
interface provided for that purpose by the generic STM API:
root@genericarmv8:~# ls -l /dev/20100000.stm
crw------- 1 root root 10, 61 Jan 3 18:11 /dev/20100000.stm
root@genericarmv8:~#
Details on how to use the generic STM API can be found here [2].
