Ah sorry. I've misread the code location that was my bad.

Funcionally, Code works. However, To be honest, the pairing between
etm4_parse_event_config() and etm4_clean_event_config() feels a bit artificial to me.

So here I have simply followed the principle that,
if etm4_parse_event_config() fails, the configuration it touched should be
cleaned up within that function; and if a failure happens after
etm4_parse_event_config() has succeeded, the caller should perform the cleanup.

Renaming etm4_parse_event_config() and splitting out the
CSCFG-related handling as suggested would be possible,
although I still feel it may not be strictly necessary.

My preference would be to keep this as-is, but Suzuki, what do you think?
