dt-bindings: arm: coresight: Add support for coresight-loses-context-with-cpu
Some coresight components, because of choices made during hardware integration, require their state to be saved and restored across CPU low power states. The software has no reliable method of detecting when save/restore is required thus let's add a binding to inform the kernel.

+ An example of where this may be needed are systems which contain a

+ powers down the coresight component also powers down and loses its
