[PATCH] driver core: platform: fix fwnode leak on registration failure

[Johan Hovold]

A recent change started taking a reference also to non-OF firmware nodes
when registering platform devices.

The firmware node pointer is however still cleared on registration
failure when ACPI support is enabled, which means that the reference
leaks in platform_device_release() when the device is freed.

A software node also stays registered as device_remove_software_node()
returns early.

Drop the clearing of the fwnode pointer when registration fails to fix
the leak.

This issue was flagged by an LLM.
