[PATCH V4 3/4] coresight: trbe: Add a representative coresight_platform_data for TRBE

[Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com>]

TRBE coresight devices do not need regular connections information, as the
paths get built between all percpu source and their respective percpu sink
devices. Please refer 'commit 2cd87a7b293d ("coresight: core: Add support
for dedicated percpu sinks")' which added support for percpu sink devices.

coresight_register() expect device connections via the platform_data. TRBE
devices do not have any graph connections and thus is empty. With upcoming
ACPI support for TRBE, we do not get a real acpi_device and thus
coresight_get_platform_dat() will end up in failures. Hence this allocates
a zeroed coresight_platform_data structure and assigns that back into the
device.
