In thermal_of_cm_lookup(), tr_np is obtained via of_parse_phandle(). But
it never be released.
Use the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute to automatically release
the node and fix the leak.

This looks good to me.

Lukasz, Daniel?


Good catch thanks! That looks good. This scoped device node
handling approach simplifies a lot the error paths (and is less
error-prone).
