Thank you for this patch, but it seems like a NAK to me. I think this is
a matter of personal preference, and according to mine, it is much more
confusing to insert a goto label after a function's primary return path
than to have 2-3 calls to fwnode_handle_put().

If you feel strongly otherwise, then I would suggest a helper function as
recommended by Dmitry in another thread. However, maybe that helper should
live in the driver core, as I suspect this driver is not the only place we
can avoid calling fwnode_handle_put() in an error path that returns an int.

Kind regards,
Jeff LaBundy
