It is considered slightly nicer to put local declarations
in descending order of line length. i.e.

	struct tracepoint_path *path = tracepoint_id_to_path(config);
	char *buf = NULL;

The parentheses are unnecessary and kernel style tends to avoid "!= NULL"
i.e.

	if (path && asprintf(&buf, "%s:%s", path->system, path->name) > 0)
