Most devices use mode, so move the mode definition out of the individual devices and up to the Coresight device. This will allow the core code to also know the mode which will be useful in a later commit. This also fixes the inconsistency of the documentation of the mode field on the individual device types. For example ETB10 had "this ETB is being used". Two devices didn't require an atomic mode type, so these usages have been converted to atomic_get() and atomic_set() only to make it compile, but the documentation of the field in struct coresight_device explains this type of usage. In the future, manipulation of the mode could be completely moved out of the individual devices and into the core code because it's almost all duplicate code, and this change is a step towards that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
