It is possibe that probe failure issue happens when the device
and its child_device's probe happens at the same time.
In coresight_make_links, has_conns_grp is true for parent, but
has_conns_grp is false for child device as has_conns_grp is set
to true in coresight_create_conns_sysfs_group. The probe of parent
device will fail at this condition. Add has_conns_grp check for
child device before make the links and make the process from
device_register to connection_create be atomic to avoid this
probe failure issue.

This appears to be wrong. We may do an unlock when we didn't lock it in
the first place.
Please could you double check. Also, I think it may be neater to move
the kfree(csdev) to the only user and return straight away from there.

Cheers
Suzuki
