I can but I find it less readable. Existing code, after my patch, is
pretty straightforward:

        struct device_node *np = dev->of_node;
        struct device_node *pctlnp = of_get_parent(np);
        struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev = NULL;
        ...

        if (!np || !pctlnp)
                return -ENODEV;

        pctldev = of_pinctrl_get(pctlnp);
        of_node_put(pctlnp);
        if (!pctldev)
                return -EPROBE_DEFER;


So __free() would safe only one of_node_put() and grow its scope
significantly. Above pattern - of_get + use + of_node_put - is pretty
self-contained and readable.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
