I would reword this something like:
"Currently, 'pcc_chan_count' is remains set to a non-zero value if PCC
subspaces are parsed successfully but something else fail later during
the initial PCC probing phase. This will result in pcc_mbox_request_channel()
trying to access the resources that are not initialised or allocated and
may end up in a system crash.

Reset pcc_chan_count to 0 when the PCC probe fails in order to prevent
the possible issue as described above.
