+Introduction
+---------------------------
+
+Coresight Dummy Trace Module is for the specific devices that kernel
+don't have permission to access or configure, e.g., CoreSight TPDMs
+on Qualcomm platforms. So there need driver to register dummy devices
+as Coresight devices. It may also be used to define components that
+may not have any programming interfaces (e.g, static links), so that
+paths can be established in the driver. Provide Coresight API for
+dummy device operations, such as enabling and disabling dummy devices.
+Build the Coresight path for dummy sink or dummy source for debugging.
+
+Config details
+---------------------------
+
+There are two types of nodes, dummy sink and dummy source. The nodes
+should be observed at the below coresight path::
+
+ ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices``.
+
+e.g.::
+
+ / $ ls -l /sys/bus/coresight/devices | grep dummy
+ dummy_sink0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:sink/dummy_sink0
+ dummy_source0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/soc@0:source/dummy_source0
