[PATCH] cpufreq: ti: Implement scope-based cleanup in ti_cpufreq_match_node()

[PATCH] cpufreq: ti: Implement scope-based cleanup in ti_cpufreq_match_node()

[Shivani Gupta]

This patch modifies the ti_cpufreq_match_node() function to utilize the
__free() cleanup handler for automatically releasing the device
node when it goes out of scope.

By moving the declaration to the initialization, the patch ensures that
the device node is properly managed throughout the function's scope,
thus eliminating the need for manual invocation of of_node_put().
This approach reduces the potential for memory leaks.

The code is fine.  The log message is a bit verbose.  Try to avoid
referring to the patch.  It's obvious that you are talking about the
patch.  Try to favor the imperative, so "Modify..." instead of "This patch
modifies".

Fixed while applying.
