[PATCH v4 08/10] thermal: imx: Use scope-based cleanup helper

From: Zihuan Zhang
Date: Wed Sep 03 2025 - 09:20:29 EST


Replace the manual cpufreq_cpu_put() with __free(put_cpufreq_policy)
annotation for policy references. This reduces the risk of reference
counting mistakes and aligns the code with the latest kernel style.

No functional change intended.
