The ETM device can't keep up with the core pipeline when cpu core
is at full speed. This may cause overflow within core and its ETM.
This is a common phenomenon on ETM devices.

On HiSilicon Hip08 platform, a specific feature is added to set
core pipeline. So commit rate can be reduced manually to avoid ETM
overflow.

Change since v1:
- add CONFIG_ETM4X_IMPDEF_FEATURE and CONFIG_ETM4X_IMPDEF_HISILICON
to keep specific feature off platforms which don't use it.
Change since v2:
- remove some unused variable.
Change since v3:
- use read/write_sysreg_s() to access register.
Change since v4:
- rename the call back function to a more generic name, and fix some
compile warnings.

Here bit 12 and 13 are cleared but in etm4_hisi_config_core_commit() only bit 12
is set - is this intentional? What is bit 13 for?

bit 12 and 13 are used together to set core-commit, 2'b00 means cpu is at full speed,
2'b01, 2'b10, 2'b11 means reduce the speed of cpu pipeline, and 2'b01 means speed is
reduced to minimum value. So bit 12 and 13 should be cleared together in
etm4_hisi_config_core_commit().

Please could you document this in the function.

I would use the explicitly masked values when you update
a register.
