A few generic comments inline.

I'm not fond of __free usage like this because code could get added above
this line and it wouldn't be obvious that it doesn't release the handle.
Annoying though it is, maybe just do manual release of the fwnode. Ora
factor out the next chunk to a helper function so you can just put the fwnode after
that is called.

I guess there may be more here later in the series, but if not.
