I have also been working to migrate the coresight cross-trigger
interface (CTI) helpers from Ming Lei to a driver [1]. In the current
implementation I have opted to make the CTI driver an AMBA device (like
the existing ETM and ETB drivers). Therefore, I am curious if the plan
is to migrate these other coresight devices to AMBA versus adding this
new coresight bus?

It would be good to align on a plan here for coresight devices in general.

Cheers
Jon
