[PATCH] pinctrl: freescale: imx1: Fix device node leaks in imx1_pinctrl_dt_is_flat_functions()

imx1_pinctrl_dt_is_flat_functions() uses for_each_child_of_node() to
iterate over child and grandchild nodes. When the function returns
early upon finding an "fsl,pins" property, it does not release the
acquired device_node references, leaking their reference counts.

Switch to for_each_child_of_node_scoped() to automatically drop the
node references on early return and loop exit, matching the pattern used
in pinctrl-imx.c and elsewhere in this driver.
