From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx> commit 1892fe103c3a20fced306c8dafa74f7f6d4ea0a3 upstream. Calling arm_cmn_event_clear() before all DTC indices are allocated is wrong, and can lead to arm_cmn_event_add() erroneously clearing live counters from full DTCs where allocation fails. Since the DTC counters are only updated by arm_cmn_init_counter() after all DTC and DTM allocations succeed, nothing actually needs cleaning up in this case anyway, and it should just return directly as it did before.
