This patch-set updates the cxl adapter probe procedure to selectively enable
PSL-traces at the end of a successful probe for a PSL9 based adapter. This would
let implementors of AFUs that use in-kernel apis to interact with the CXL
adapter get early debug data.

This feature is controlled via a new module parameter named 'enable_psltrace'
which is enabled by default. During adapter probe is this parameter is set
cxl will start PSL-traces on the adapter via PSL_TRACECFG register. The needed
sequence values written to the register was provided by the PSL h/w team.

This patch set is based on an earlier patch titled
"cxl: Remove function write_timebase_ctrl_psl9() for PSL9" available at [1].

  cxl: Introduce various enums/defines for PSL9 trace arrays
  cxl: Introduce module parameter 'enable_psltrace'
  cxl: Provide implementation for sl_ops.start_psltrace on PSL9
