Subject: [PATCH] of: resolver: Fix device node refcount leakage in
of_resolve_phandles()

In of_resolve_phandles(), refcount of device node @local_fixups will be increased if the for_each_child_of_node() exits early, but nowhere to decrease the refcount, so cause refcount leakage for the node.

Fix by using __free() on @local_fixups.

Fixes da56d04c806a ("of/resolver: Switch to new local fixups format.")
[robh: Use __free() instead]
