[PATCH 2/2] pinctrl: ti-iodelay: fix memory leaks on consumer re-probe

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin at siemens.com>

ti_iodelay_dt_node_to_map() allocates a pinctrl_map, a group, a pin array
and a config array per mapping with devres on the controller, and registers
the group via pinctrl_generic_add_group(). The core deduplicates groups by
name and keeps the first for the controller's lifetime, so on a repeated
mapping of the same node (consumer re-probe) the freshly built group, pins
and configs are dropped and leaked. The pinctrl_map leaked too: the driver
never implemented pinctrl_ops::dt_free_map, so nothing released it.

Reuse the deduplicated group and free the redundant copy (repointing the
map at the retained group), and add dt_free_map() to release the map.

Fixes: 003910ebc83b ("pinctrl: Introduce TI IOdelay configuration driver")
