The Trigger Generation Unit (TGU) is designed to detect patterns or
sequences within a specific region of the System on Chip (SoC). Once
configured and activated, it monitors sense inputs and can detect a
pre-programmed state or sequence across clock cycles, subsequently
producing a trigger.

TGU Configuration in Hardware

The TGU provides a step region for user configuration, similar
to a flow chart. Each step region consists of three register clusters:

1.Priority Region: Sets the required signals with priority.
2.Condition Region: Defines specific requirements (e.g., signal A
reaches three times) and the subsequent action once the requirement is
met.
3.Timer/Counter (Optional): Provides timing or counting functionality.

Add a new coresight-tgu.yaml file to describe the bindings required to
define the TGU in the device trees.

+title: Trigger Generation Unit - TGU
+
+description: |
+  The Trigger Generation Unit (TGU) is a Data Engine which can be utilized
+  to sense a plurality of signals and create a trigger into the CTI or
+  generate interrupts to processors. The TGU is like the trigger circuit
+  of a Logic Analyzer.The corresponding trigger logic can be realized by
+  configuring the conditions for each step after sensing the signal.
+  Once setup and enabled, it will observe sense inputs and based upon
+  the activity of those inputs, even over clock cycles, may detect a
+  preprogrammed state/sequence and then produce a trigger or interrupt.
+
+  The primary use case of the TGU is to detect patterns or sequences on a
+  given set of signals within some region of the SoC.
