The mt9p031_parse_properties() function calls fwnode_handle_put(np) to
release the fwnode handle. However, immediately after this call, np is
used in fwnode_property_read_u32(), leading to a Use-After-Free bug.

Use the __free(fwnode_handle) attribute for the np pointer to automate
cleanup. This allows us to remove the manual fwnode_handle_put(np) call,
ensuring the handle is only dropped when the function returns, thus
preventing the Use-After-Free.

Changes in v3:
- Fixed the incorrect commit hash in the Fixes tag that caused checkpatch to fail.

Changes in v2:
- Utilized __free(fwnode_handle) to automate cleanup and safely fix the UAF
  as suggested by reviewers.
