of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented. Use the __free() attribute to manage the pgc_node reference, ensuring automatic of_node_put() cleanup when pgc_node goes out of scope.

This eliminates the need for explicit error handling paths and avoids reference count leaks.

Applied for fixes, thanks!

Kind regards Uffe

Change in V4:

• Fix typo error in code

Change in V3:

• Ensure variable is assigned when using cleanup attribute

Change in V2:

• Use __free() attribute instead of explicit of_node_put() calls
