In Arm ARM, D24.4.60 TRCSSCSR<n>, bits[0..3] are RO.  I think it is
fine for directly clear the regiser with zero (means it will only
clear status / pending bits).

This sysfs knob never can print out a realtime status for sshot, I am
fine for only printing caps->ss_cmp, this can avoid any misleading.

@Suzuki, @Mike, do you agree with the change above?

If maintainers agree with this, as Jie suggested, it is good to add a
comment in the code and update the document:

  Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight-etm4x-reference.rst

Thanks,
