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.

		* arm,coresight-loses-context-with-cpu : boolean. Indicates that the
		hardware will lose register context on CPU power down (e.g. CPUIdle).
		An example of where this may be needed are systems which contain a
		coresight component and CPU in the same power domain. When the CPU
		powers down the coresight component also powers down and loses its
		context. This property is currently only used for the ETM 4.x driver.

		* arm,cp14: must be present if the system accesses ETM/PTM management
