This patch itself is fine for me.  However, I am wandering if this
is sufficient.

As mentioned "potentially leading to unexpected issues", can I
understand some code pieces access register with uninitialized base?
If so, you would also explictly add coresight_is_static_tpdm() to
prevent register access.
