Re: [PATCH 3/8] base: soc: export soc_device_get_machine()

Some SoC drivers reimplement the functionality of
soc_device_get_machine(). Make this function accessible through the
sys_soc.h header. Rework it slightly to return a negative error number
on failure to read the machine string (SoC core can keep on ignoring
it). While at it: make it use the __free() helper from cleanup.h.
