+Coresight Dummy Trace Module

+Introduction
+---------------------------
+
+Coresight Dummy Trace Module is for the specific devices that HLOS don't

Please do not use cryptic abbreviations, please use "kernel"


+have permission to access or configure.

Such as Coresight sink EUD, some
+TPDMs etc.
Say "e.g., CoreSight TPDMs on Qualcomm platforms.:

So there need driver to register dummy devices as Coresight
+devices.

Add:

"It may also be used to define components that may not have any
programming interfaces (e.g, static links), so that paths can
be established in the driver.
"

 Provide Coresight API for dummy device operations, such as
+enabling and disabling dummy devices. Build the Coresight path for dummy
+sink or dummy source for debugging.


I think the following content may not be needed as they are part
of the standard source/sink type devices, nothing specific to
dummy devices.

+Sysfs files and directories
+---------------------------
+
+Root: ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices/dummy<N>``
+
+----
+
+:File:            ``enable_source`` (RW)
+:Notes:
+    - > 0 : enable the datasets of dummy source.
+
+    - = 0 : disable the datasets of dummy source.
+
+:Syntax:
+    ``echo 1 > enable_source``

+
+:File:            ``enable_sink`` (RW)
+:Notes:
+    - > 0 : enable the datasets of dummy sink.

+Config details
+---------------------------
+
+There are two types of nodes, dummy sink and dummy source. The nodes
+should be observed at the coresight path
+"/sys/bus/coresight/devices".
+e.g.
+/sys/bus/coresight/devices # ls -l | grep dummy
+dummy0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:dummy_source/dummy0
+dummy1 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:dummy_sink/dummy1
