Hi, this patch appears as "superseded" in the patchwork, but I could not
find what series actually superseded it.

I just noticed that the cleanup in ltc2991.c turns out to be a bug fix
as well because there is an error path if "shunt-resistor-micro-ohms" is
zero that misses the required fwnode_handle_put().

This is something similar like the recently applied fix for the ltc2992
[1], but in this case the _scoped() macro already exists and is in use
in the mainline kernel, and no explicit call to fwnode_handle_put() is
required unless the fix is to be ported to old kernels that don't have
the device_for_each_child_node_scoped() macro.
