Subject: [PATCH v2 24/27] coresight: tmc-etr: Relax collection of trace from sysfs mode
Date:   Tue,  1 May 2018 10:10:54 +0100
Message-Id: <1525165857-11096-25-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <1525165857-11096-1-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
References: <1525165857-11096-1-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

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.
