Use the __free(device_node) scoped variable to automatically release
the device node reference, preventing a device node reference leak.

A few spontaneous questions here:

- Why are you moving the declaration of childnp in the middle of
  the function?

- Have you run checkpatch.pl before sending the patch?

- Is of_get_next_available_child() allocating the device_node?

- Have you tested the patch?

Thanks,
Andi
