Subject: [PATCH v2] misc: rp1: Fix a reference leak

The reference taken by of_find_node_by_name() in the probe is not released
in the remove function.

In order to avoid a reference leak, use cleanup.h to automatically
release the reference at the end of the probe when it is not needed
anymore.

In order to do so, a reference also needs to be taken when DT is not used.

This simplifies the error handling path and makes direct returns possible
in several places.

While at it, also add a missing \n at the end of an error message.

Fixes: 49d63971f963 ("misc: rp1: RaspberryPi RP1 misc driver")
Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>
