First a block with declarations, then a blank line, followed by the actual code

Oh, "finally" as in not yet upstream ;-)

"When the unwind order matters..."

So it's perfectly fine to have:

    static int __init rcar_gen4_sysc_pd_init(void)
    {
            struct device_node *np __free(device_node) = NULL;
            struct rcar_gen4_pm_domains *domains;
            const struct rcar_gen4_sysc_info *info;
            const struct of_device_id *match;
            void __iomem *base;
            unsigned int i;
            int error;

            np = of_find_matching_node_and_match(NULL,
rcar_gen4_sysc_matches, &match);
            if (!np)
                    return -ENODEV;

            ...
    }

But my first suggestion:

    static int __init rcar_gen4_sysc_pd_init(void)
    {
            struct device_node *np __free(device_node) =
                    of_find_matching_node_and_match(NULL,
rcar_gen4_sysc_matches, &match);
            struct rcar_gen4_pm_domains *domains;
            const struct rcar_gen4_sysc_info *info;
            const struct of_device_id *match;
            void __iomem *base;
            unsigned int i;
            int error;

            if (!np)
                    return -ENODEV;

            ...
    }

is safer w.r.t. to future modification.
