In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks for your review.
linux/cleanup.h is included in linux/of.h.
So it should be included already.
Best regards,

Yes. However we should not depend on include files being provided by
other kernel-wide includes.
Also, please don't top-post when replying to the emails on public MLs.
