In this case common->cpts is not NULL and is set to error pointer.
Probe will continue normally.
Is it OK to call any of the cpts APIs with invalid handle?
Also am65_cpts_release() will be called with invalid handle.

In this case common->cpts is not NULL and will invoke am65_cpts_release() with
invalid handle.
