This patch series updates OpenOCD to support direct memory access (dmem)
via SWD emulation for Texas Instruments AM64x and J784s4 platforms.

Changes include:
1. Version bumps:
   - openocd: 91bd431 -> 66ea461
   - jimtcl: fcbb449 -> f160866
   - libjaylink: 9aa7a59 -> 0d23921

2. Platform support patches:
   - Add SWD native configuration files for AM64x and J784s4 boards
   - Configure DMEM access parameters in ti_k3.cfg for direct memory operations
   - Set up DAPBUS debugger and emulated AP descriptions

3. Build configuration:
   - Enable dmem adapter driver (--enable-dmem)
   - Enable internal jimtcl (--enable-internal-jimtcl)
   - Add both features to default PACKAGECONFIG

This enables self-hosted debug configurations where OpenOCD runs on one of
the CPUs inside the SoC.

  openocd: bump the openocd, jimtcl versions
  openocd: add dmem support to am64xx and j784s4 platforms
  openocd: enable dmem and jimtcl

Thanks for the patchset, Please rebase it on latest master branch or 
master-next branch and resend. While resending send the whole series
together with git send-email *.patch or something so tools like 
patchwork and lore can record this as a series.
