There are memory leaks reported by kmemleak:
...
unreferenced object 0xffff2020103c3200 (size 256):
  comm "insmod", pid 4476, jiffies 4294978252 (age 50072.536s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

...

when remove driver, the golab variables defined by the macro
DEFINE_CORESIGHT_DEVLIST will be released, dict->nr_idx and
dict->fwnode_list are cleared to 0. The lifetime of the golab
variable has ended. So the buffer pointer is lost.

Use the callback of devm_add_action_or_reset() to free memory.
