coresight: bindings for CPU debug module
According to ARMv8 architecture reference manual (ARM DDI 0487A.k)
Chapter 'Part H: External debug', the CPU can integrate debug module
and it can support self-hosted debug and external debug. Especially
for supporting self-hosted debug, this means the program can access
the debug module from mmio region; and usually the mmio region is
integrated with coresight.
So add document for binding debug component, includes binding to APB
clock; and also need specify the CPU node which the debug module is
dedicated to specific CPU.

The +external debug module is mainly used for two modes: self-hosted debug and +external debug, and it can be accessed from mmio region from Coresight +and eventually the debug module connects with CPU for debugging. And the +debug module provides sample-based profiling extension, which can be used +to sample CPU program counter, secure state and exception level, etc; +usually every CPU has one dedicated debug module to be connected. + +Required properties: + +- compatible : should be "arm,coresight-cpu-debug"; supplemented with + "arm,primecell" since this driver is using the AMBA bus + interface. + +- reg : physical base address and length of the register set. + +- clocks : the clock associated to this component. + +- clock-names : the name of the clock referenced by the code.
