trivia:

Perhaps consistently using
	dev_err(dev, "timeout while waiting for %s\n", "<foo>");
could make the object code a bit smaller.

ie:
		dev_err(drvdata->dev,
			"timeout while waiting for %s\n",
			"completion of Manual Flush");

but that depends on how many of these coresight
files are compiled and linked.

There is a while/when usage difference in some of
the output messages.
