The _scoped() version of the fwnode_for_each_available_child_node() follows the approach recently taken for other loops that handle child nodes like for_each_child_of_node_scoped() or device_for_each_child_node_scoped(), which are based on the __free() auto cleanup handler to remove the need for fwnode_handle_put() on early loop exits. This new variant has been tested with the LTC2992, which currently uses the non-scoped variant. There is one error path that does not decrement the refcount of the child node, which can be fixed by using the new macro. The bug was introduced in a later modification of the loop, which shows how useful an automatic cleanup solution can be in many uses of the non-scoped version. In order to provide a backportable patch, the conversion in the LTC2992 driver is carried out in two steps: first the missing fwnode_handle_put() is added, and then the code is refactored to adopt the new, safer approach. @Andy Shevchenko: I kept your Reviewed-by in 3/3, that now also removes the new fwnode_handle_put() and braces added with 1/3.
