Subject: [PATCH v3][next] tty: sunsu: Simplify device_node cleanup by using __free

Add `__free` function attribute to `ap` and `match` pointer
initialisations which ensure that the pointers are freed as soon as they
go out of scope, thus removing the need to manually free them using
`of_node_put`.

This also removes the need for the `goto` statement and the `rc`
variable.

Changes in v3:
    - Remove incorrect testing statement

I've tested the patch by cross compiling it for sparc systems and
booting the produced `image` file in `qemu-system-sparc`.
