Some STM devices adjust software assigned master numbers depending on
the trace source and its runtime state and whatnot. This patch adds
a sysfs attribute to inform the trace-side software that master numbers
assigned to software sources will not match those in the STP stream,
so that, for example, master/channel allocation policy can be adjusted
accordingly.

STM device's unlink callback is never actually called from anywhere in
the stm class code.
This patch adds calls to stm driver's unlink method after the unlinking
has succeeded.

STM drivers provide a callback to generate/send individual STP packets;
it also tells the stm core how many bytes of payload it has consumed.
However, we would also need to use the negative space of this return
value to communicate errors that occur during the packet generation,
in which case the stm core will have to take appropriate action.
For now, we need to account for the possibility that the stm driver may
not support certain combinations of packet type/flags, in which case
it is expected to signal an error.

A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.
This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.
This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.
For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.
For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.
