[PATCH v4 8/8] coresight: Unify bus unregistration via coresight_unregister()

From: Leo Yan

Date: Mon Feb 09 2026 - 07:46:38 EST


Once a device is successfully registered, set the "registered" flag to
true. After that point, all failures jump to the out_unlock label to
unwind the flow via coresight_unregister().

Since failure handling is unified, the comment about resource release
for the etm_perf_add_symlink_sink() failure is no need, remove it.
