Neoverse-N2: 2139208: workaround TRBE overwriting trace data in FILL mode
This option adds the workaround for ARM Neoverse-N2 erratum 2139208.
Affected Neoverse-N2 cores could overwrite up to 3 cache lines of trace
data at the base of the buffer (pointed to by TRBASER_EL1) in FILL mode in
the event of a WRAP event.
Work around the issue by always making sure we move the TRBPTR_EL1 by
256 bytes before enabling the buffer and filling the first 256 bytes of
the buffer with ETM ignore packets upon disabling.

If unsure, say Y.
