[PATCH v3] 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 calling of_node_put(childnp) on both the error and success
paths.

v3:
- Revert back to manual of_node_put() because the function uses goto-based
  error handling, and mixing the two styles is discouraged (reported by
  Sashiko-bot).
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).
