Subject: [PATCH] soc: fsl: guts: reuse machine name from device tree

Reuse the string machine from the device tree data structure instead
of duplicating the data again.  This also prevents a potential memory
allocation failure that was not handled previously.  Also fixes an early
put of root device node.
