We are about to introduce methods to clean up the platform data as we switch to tracking the device reference from "name" to "fwnode handles" for device connections. This requires us to drop the fwnode handle references when the data is no longer required - i.e, when the device probe fails or the device gets unregistered. In order to consolidate the invocation of the cleanup, we delay the platform probing to the very last minute, possibly before invoking the coresight_register. Then, we leave the coresight core code to do the clean up. i.e, if the coresight_register fails, it takes care of freeing the data. Otherwise, coresight_unregister will do the necessary operations.

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.
