Function coresight_alloc_conns() doesn't copy connection information. Moreover sink devices don't have an output port and this code has been stable for years now. As such I am suspecting that something else is going wrong... Can you give more details about the coresight topology you are working with? An output of the kernel panic you are seeing would also be much appreciated.

When there is no output port, coresight_alloc_conns() still do the following copy connection information to pdata->conns, and this may cause kernel panic. Let's fix it.
