Do we need a Fixes tag here ?

These allocations are made on the parent device and that
may never get unregistered (e.g., AMBA device, platform device,
stay forever, even when the "coresight" modules are unloaded).
Thus the memory will be left unused, literally leaking.
This specific devm_kfree() was added to fix that. May be we should fix
this in the TRBE driver to use separate pdata for the TRBE device
instances.
