Generic MMIO read/write i.e., __raw_{read,write}{b,l,w,q} accessors
are typically used to read/write from/to memory mapped registers
and can cause hangs or some undefined behaviour in following few
cases,
* If the access to the register space is unclocked, for example: if
there is an access to multimedia(MM) block registers without MM
clocks.
* If the register space is protected and not set to be accessible from
non-secure world, for example: only EL3 (EL: Exception level) access
is allowed and any EL2/EL1 access is forbidden.
* If xPU(memory/register protection units) is controlling access to
certain memory/register space for specific clients.
and more...
Such cases usually results in instant reboot/SErrors/NOC or interconnect
hangs and tracing these register accesses can be very helpful to debug
such issues during initial development stages and also in later stages.
So use ftrace trace events to log such MMIO register accesses which
provides rich feature set such as early enablement of trace events,
filtering capability, dumping ftrace logs on console and many more.
