[PATCH 01/44] coresight: Document error handling in coresight_register

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 15:18:26 EST


From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx>

commit 6403587a930c ("coresight: use put_device() instead of kfree()")
fixes the double freeing of resources and ensures that the device
refcount is dropped properly. Add a comment to explain this to
help the readers and prevent people trying to "unfix" it again.

While at it, rename the labels for better readability.
