[PATCH v2 36/36] [RFC] coresight: Expose device connections via sysfs

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Mon Apr 15 2019 - 12:06:52 EST


Coresight device connections are a bit complicated and is not
exposed currently to the user. One has to look at the platform
descriptions (DT bindings or ACPI bindings) to make an understanding.
Given the new naming scheme, it will be helpful to have this information
to choose the appropriate devices for tracing. This patch exposes
the device connections via links in the sysfs directories.

e.g, for a connection devA[OutputPort_X] -> devB[InputPort_Y]
is represented as two symlinks:

/sys/bus/coresight/.../devA/out:X -> /sys/bus/coresight/.../devB
/sys/bus/coresight/.../devB/in:Y -> /sys/bus/coresight/.../devA

We could have segregated the links to separate directories aka
attribute_groups, for input_ports and output_ports. But the sysfs won't
let you create empty attribute_groups and thus it becomes complicated to
dynamically create the attribute_groups.
