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.
Thanks for the report. But please see below:

This looks wrong. The devlist should be only released on the "driver" unload, not on every device release. The list retains the fwnode to assign the same name for a device, if it is re-probed (e.g., due to -EPROBE_DEFER error).
The best way is to free it on module_unload and unfortunately we would need to do it from all modules using the DEVLIST.
