Subject: [PATCH] drivers:video: Implement automatic cleanup for device_node

This patch removes calls to of_node_put() and adds __free(device_node)
attribute to the device_node declaration in offb_init_palette_hacks().
This reduces the risk of memory leaks by ensuring that the reference
count is automatically managed and decremented when the device_node goes
out of scope.
