The function at91_dt_node_to_map is ultimately called by the function
pinctrl_get, which is an exported function.  Since it is possible that this
function is not called from within a probe function, for safety, the kfree
is converted to a devm_kfree, to both free the data and remove it from the
device in a failure situation.

v2: Drop cleanup of the call to devm_kzalloc at the same time.
Thanks, applied with Jean-Christophe's ACK.

Yours,
