This series switches from the device_for_each_child_node() macro to its scoped variant. This makes the code more robust if new early exits are added to the loops, because there is no need for explicit calls to fwnode_handle_put(), which also simplifies existing code. The non-scoped macros to walk over nodes turn error-prone as soon as the loop contains early exits (break, goto, return), and patches to fix them show up regularly, sometimes due to new error paths in an existing loop [1]. Note that the child node is now declared in the macro, and therefore the explicit declaration is no longer required. The general functionality should not be affected by this modification. If functional changes are found, please report them back as errors.
