[PATCH] drivers: use __free attribute instead of of_node_put()

[Vincenzo Mezzela]

Introduce the __free attribute for scope-based resource management.
Resources allocated with __free are automatically released at the end of
the scope. This enhancement aims to mitigate memory management issues
associated with forgetting to release resources by utilizing __free
instead of of_node_put().

The declaration of the device_node used within the do-while loops is
moved directly within the loop so that the resource is automatically
freed at the end of each iteration.
