I think they're not actually freed because connections are added before
the coresight device is created using the 'parent' of the device which
never goes away:

struct coresight_device *coresight_register(struct coresight_desc *desc) {
...
csdev->dev.parent = desc->dev;

Another reason is that's is a good way to catch errors. There are so
many different devices floating around that without an explicit free,
it's very easy to pass the wrong one and be inconsistent. With the free
it gives you a warning if it's mismatched.

But either way, now that we know that they're not freed maybe we should
fix that isntead? Although apart from doing a full copy of pdata into
the coresight device I'm not sure how it can be done. Then I suppose we
could remove these frees, although I still think the error catching is
good. It's also not strictly related to this fix so maybe it can be a
second fix.
