Disable MMIO tracing for geni serial driver to prevent excessive logging. Any access over serial console would involve a lot of TX and RX register accesses (and few others), so these MMIO read/write trace events in these drivers cause a lot of unwanted noise because of the high frequency of such operations and it is not very useful tracing these events for such drivers. Given we want to enable these trace events on development devices (maybe not production devices) where performance also really matters so that we don't regress other components by wasting CPU cycles and memory collecting these traces, it makes more sense to disable these traces from such drivers. Also another reason to disable these traces would be to prevent recursive tracing when we display the trace buffer containing these MMIO trace events since writing onto serial console would further record MMIO traces.

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.
