[PATCH 6.12 434/567] pmdomain: imx: Fix reference count leak in imx_gpc_probe()

From: Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>

commit 73cb5f6eafb0ac7aea8cdeb8ff12981aa741d8fb upstream.

of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented.
Use the __free() attribute to manage the pgc_node reference, ensuring
automatic of_node_put() cleanup when pgc_node goes out of scope.

This eliminates the need for explicit error handling paths and avoids
reference count leaks.

Fixes: 721cabf6c660 ("soc: imx: move PGC handling to a new GPC driver")
