Thank you for reviewing the patch. I realize now that checking
CONFIG_TI_K3_AM65_CPTS is unnecessary.

common->cpts remains NULL in the following cases:
1. am65_cpsw_init_cpts() returns 0 since CONFIG_TI_K3_AM65_CPTS is not enabled.
2. am65_cpsw_init_cpts() returns -ENOENT since the cpts node is not defined.
3. The call to am65_cpts_create() fails within the am65_cpsw_init_cpts()
function with a return value of 0 when cpts is disabled.
4. The call to am65_cpts_create() within the am65_cpsw_init_cpts() function
fails with an error.

Of the above cases, the am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function would have to handle
cases 1 and 3, since the probe might fail at a later point, following which the
probe cleanup path will invoke the am65_cpts_cpts_cleanup() function. This
function then checks for common->cpts not being NULL, so that it can invoke the
am65_cpts_release() function with this pointer.

The am65_cpts_release() function expects the cpts pointer to be valid. Thus, I
had added the am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function to conditionally invoke the
am65_cpts_release() function whenever the cpts pointer is valid. Based on your
suggestion, I believe that you want me to check for the cpts pointer being valid
within the am65_cpts_release() function instead, so that the
am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function doesn't have to be added. Please let me know
if this is what you meant.

Regards,
Siddharth.
