[PATCH v2] i2c: sun6i-p2wi: Fix device node reference leak in p2wi_probe

In p2wi_probe(), the device node reference obtained via
of_get_next_available_child() is stored in childnp. This reference is
never released, causing a device node reference leak.

Fix this by declaring childnp with the __free(device_node) cleanup
attribute, which automatically releases the device node reference
when childnp goes out of scope.

v2:
- Use __free(device_node) and include <linux/cleanup.h> to automate the device
  node reference cleanup instead of manually calling of_node_put() on error and
  success paths (suggested by Chen-Yu Tsai).
