This hunk looked suspicious to me and is problematic. If we fail to 
register the device with "device_register()", we already free the
csdev, via coresight_device_release() triggered via the device_put(),
(See comments in that case) and we could trigger a double free of the 
csdev with this change.

I would recommend, you free the "csdev" in the above case, if we fail to
allocate the percpu storage and fall through.

I am slightly concerned by this change. We already pass down "event" for 
a generic "enable" call back which serves both SYSFS & PERF. Now we are 
adding one more, just for the PERF usage. Ideally, it is possible to
pass a single argument, e.g. perf_aux_output_handle which can fetch you
all the required infor for "enable".

  i.e, hanlde->event, perf_get_aux(handle) -> event_data. We could even 
add a helper to find the trace_id map from the handle, which could hide
the implementation details from the backend drivers.

e.g.,

etm_perf_get_trace_id_map(handle) -> {
   event_data = perf_get_aux()
   path = per_cpu(event_data->path)
   sink = sink_from_path(path)
   return trace_id of the sink;
}


That said, we if we intend to extend the usage of trace_id_map for 
sysfs, this may be fine as is.
