[RFC PATCH 2/5] of: Introduce for_each_child_of_node_scoped() to automate of_node_put() handling

[Jonathan Cameron]

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx>

To avoid issues with out of order cleanup, or ambiguity about when the
auto freed data is first instantiated, do it within the for loop definition.

The disadvantage is that the struct device_node *child variable creation
is not immediately obvious where this is used.
However, in many cases, if there is another definition of
struct device_node *child; the compiler / static analysers will notify us
that it is unused, or uninitialized.
