Subject: [PATCH v2] platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: fix missing fwnode
 reference decrement

The device_for_each_child_node() macro requires explicit calls to
fwnode_handle_put() upon early exits (return, break, goto) to decrement
the fwnode's refcount, and avoid levaing a node reference behind.

Add the missing fwnode_handle_put() after the common label for all error
paths.

I usually switch to the scoped variant of the macro to fix such issues,
but given that the fix is relevant for stable kernels, I have provided
the "classical" approach by adding the missing fwnode_handle_put().

If switching to the scoped variant is desired, please let me know.
This driver and cross_typec_switch could be easily converted.
