While testing this set I noticed entries in /sys/bus/event_source/sinks still
advertise platform device names. To fix this etm_perf_add_symlink_sink()
needs to be modified, more specifically:

Mike Leach was also working on a way to represent connections between CTI/CTM
devices. It would be desirable to get the same kind of topology representation
for both "normal" devices and CTI/CTMs. I like how this set represent the
topology but I also want Mike to have his say as well.

Before moving forward I will need to get a "Reviewed-by" from him.

Thanks,
Mathieu
