Debug: ATB Hang during Cortex-A53 trace
A debugger hang may occur if an Advanced Trace Bus (ATB) flush request is sent to a Cortex-A53 core which has its clock gated via the associated PSC in the disabled or software-reset disabled (SwRstDisable) state. The issue does not occur if the Cortex-A53 core is in a powered down state.
Do not perform debug trace activities on a Cortex-A53 core when in a disabled or software-reset disabled (SwRstDisabled) state. If only one Cortex-A53 core is being used in the dual core cluster, the other Cortex-A53 core should be in a powered down mode. This will allow debug trace of the active Cortex-A53 core.
