I *think* this looks OK, but I'm not comfy with all this scope magic
yet, so would like Jonathan and/or Rob to take a peek too.

And is there some way to include a hint here about how to find the
implicit of_node_put()?  I think it's this from 9448e55d032d ("of: Add
cleanup.h based auto release via __free(device_node) markings"):

  +DEFINE_FREE(device_node, struct device_node *, if (_T) of_node_put(_T))

but it did take some looking to find it.

If it looks good, I'll tweak the commit log to use imperative mood:
https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?id=v6.9#n94

since this technically says what *could* happen but not what the patch
*does*.
