of_get_next_available_child() returns a device_node pointer with an incremented reference count. The reference taken in p2wi_probe() for the optional child node was dropped on neither the early return when the "reg" property is missing/invalid nor on the success path, so a reference is leaked once on every successful probe and twice on every failed one. Use the scoped __free(device_node) cleanup helper at the point of acquisition so the reference is dropped automatically on every exit path.
