This is not a good line-break strategy.

	struct device_node *led_node
		__free(device_node) = of_find_node_by_path("/ibm,opal/leds");

	struct device_node *led_node __free(device_node) =
		of_find_node_by_path("/ibm,opal/leds");

Please choose one of these instead.

I suggest the top one might read a little easier.

Does the __free() have to be combined with an allocation?
