[PATCH v3] media: i2c: ov5640: use scoped fwnode_handle endpoint cleanup

From: Biren Pandya

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 08:50:20 EST


Utilize the __free(fwnode_handle) scoped guard macro from
<linux/cleanup.h> to automate the lifecycle management of the endpoint
fwnode in ov5640_probe().

This eliminates the need for manual fwnode_handle_put() calls.
Additionally, drop the redundant !endpoint check before
v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse(), as the parse function already handles
NULL endpoints safely.

v3: adopted __free scoped guard (Laurent); explicitly dropped redundant endpoint check (Sakari).
