I'd like sync for how to merging this patch set. Except patch 05/07,
all of other patches in this patch set have been received the reviewed
or acked tags. So could you pick up this patch set?

Furthermore, we have another patch set "coresight: etm: Correct PID
tracing for non-root namespace" [1], which is dependent on the current
patch set and it has been Acked by Suzuki.

I'd like to get opinions from David and CoreSight maintainers Mathieu
and Suzuki, should we merge the patch set [1] via David's tree as well
to avoid dependency issue, or prefer to merge it via CoreSight tree?
If David prefers the prior option, I can resend the patch set [1] with
looping David.

Thanks,
Leo
