It will corrected with tab + 2 spaces

Will add description for return value

Will change as below :
noc_writel(c_offset[counter] + C_PORTSEL, trace_port);

Will correct unnecessary parenthesis in above 4 statements

Yes, will change it to single timeout variable.

Will review if this time can be optimized.

will add this line to the top of the file
#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
