- Align and show updated ls devices output from the TC2, based on
  current driver

- Provide an example from an ETMv4 based system (Juno)

- Reflect changes to the way the RAM write pointer is accessed since
  it got changed in commit 7d83d17795ef ("coresight: tmc: adding sysFS
  management entries").

The above is not entirely correct.  On Juno users can select the ETF,
ETR and TPIU as a sink target while on TC2, the ETB and TPIU can be
selected.
