This is a cleanup patch.
coresight_device->conns holds an array to point to the devices
connected to the OUT ports of a component. Sinks, e.g ETR, do not
have an OUT port (nr_outport = 0), as it streams the trace to
memory via AXI.
At coresight_register() we do :
conns = kcalloc(csdev->nr_outport, sizeof(*conns), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!conns) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto err_kzalloc_conns;
}
For ETR, since the total size requested for kcalloc is zero, the return
value is, ZERO_SIZE_PTR ( != NULL). Hence, csdev->conns = ZERO_SIZE_PTR
which cannot be verified later to contain a valid pointer. The code which
accesses the csdev->conns is bounded by the csdev->nr_outport check,
hence we don't try to dereference the ZERO_SIZE_PTR. This patch cleans
up the csdev->conns and csdev->refcnt, initialisation to make sure we
initialise it properly(i.e, either NULL or valid conns array).
