Subject: [PATCH] device property: Add scoped fwnode child node iterators

Add scoped versions of fwnode child node iterators that automatically
handle reference counting cleanup using the __free() attribute:

- fwnode_for_each_child_node_scoped()
- fwnode_for_each_named_child_node_scoped()
- fwnode_for_each_available_child_node_scoped()

These macros follow the same pattern as existing scoped iterators in the
kernel, ensuring fwnode references are automatically released when the
iterator variable goes out of scope. This prevents resource leaks and
eliminates the need for manual cleanup in error paths.

The implementation mirrors the non-scoped variants but uses
__free(fwnode_handle) for automatic resource management, providing a safer
and more convenient interface for drivers iterating over firmware node
children.

Notes:
    checkpatch reports false positives that are intentionally ignored:
    COMPLEX_MACRO, MACRO_ARG_REUSE, MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE
    This is a standard iterator pattern following kernel conventions.
