Subject: [PATCH 0/2] device property: introduce
 fwnode_for_each_available_child_node_scoped()

The _scoped() version of the fwnode_for_each_available_child_node()
follows the approach recently taken for other loops that handle child
nodes like for_each_child_of_node_scoped() or
device_for_each_child_node_scoped(), which are based on the __free()
auto cleanup handler to remove the need for fwnode_handle_put() on
early loop exits.

This new variant has been tested with the LTC2992, which currently uses
the non-scoped variant. There is one error path that does not decrement
the refcount of the child node, which can be fixed by using the new
macro. The bug was introduced in a later modification of the loop, which
shows how useful an automatic cleanup solution can be in many uses of
the non-scoped version.
