For both of these points, I think it was just trying to be consistent
with what is already there.

There is already cs_etm_is_etmv4() and cs_etm_get_ro() which don't
mention the cpu part, and also the metadata_etmv4_ro variable which has
_ro. You're right that it doesn't matter that they're read only, but at
the moment everything is so it's probably easiest to leave it for now
rather than go and update everything.

Thanks for the review.
