I think we can do better for code consolidation - we can use a central place for error handling. I will give details below.

I know this is not a problem introduced by your patch - for an error case, it returns 0. This will hide unexpected issues. I would like to suggest to return -EINVAL for unknown types.

I am just wandering if we can handle errors in a unified way and without using goto. I would change the code as below.
The point is to use a general flow for error handling, include a sink error. For sink error, we still invoke coresight_disable_path_from() for an empty operation.
Also, I think we need an additional patch for error handling in coresight_enable_helpers(). If any errors are detected while enabling a helper, we should disable the helpers that have already been enabled.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Leo
