This series is to fix and refactor CoreSight device registration and unregistration, it can be divided into three small parts:
Patches 01-03: Three fixes for memory leak, device reference and mutex protection. Patches 04-05: Move connection cleanup operations into coresight_remove_conns(). Patches 06-08: Refactor error handling in coresight_register().
This series is verified on Juno board.
--- Changes in v4: - Applied James' review tags on patches 01-07. - Kept the "registered" flag to use central place for mutex release (James / Suzuki). - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260202-arm_coresight_refactor_dev_register-v3-0-...
Changes in v3: - Updated patch 01 to use coesight core layer for device index list (Suzuki). - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260126-arm_coresight_refactor_dev_register-v2-0-...
Changes in v2: - Refined the commit log in patch 06 (Suzuki). - Unified to call coresight_unregister() for error handling (Suzuki). - Refactor connection and sysfs group release. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250512154108.23920-1-leo.yan@arm....
