Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2 2/4] of: Introduce for_each_*_child_of_node_scoped() to automate of_node_put() handling

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@...wei.com>

To avoid issues with out of order cleanup, or ambiguity about when the
auto freed data is first instantiated, do it within the for loop definition.

The disadvantage is that the struct device_node *child variable creation
is not immediately obvious where this is used.
However, in many cases, if there is another definition of
struct device_node *child; the compiler / static analysers will notify us
that it is unused, or uninitialized.

Note that, in the vast majority of cases, the _available_ form should be
used and as code is converted to these scoped handers, we should confirm
that any cases that do not check for available have a good reason not
to.
