[PATCH 6.18 087/175] ASoC: davinci-evm: Fix reference leak in davinci_evm_probe

[ Upstream commit 5b577d214fcc109707bcb77b4ae72a31cfd86798 ]

The davinci_evm_probe() function calls of_parse_phandle() to acquire
device nodes for "ti,audio-codec" and "ti,mcasp-controller". These
functions return device nodes with incremented reference counts.

However, in several error paths (e.g., when the second of_parse_phandle(),
snd_soc_of_parse_card_name(), or devm_snd_soc_register_card() fails),
the function returns directly without releasing the acquired nodes,
leading to reference leaks.

This patch adds an error handling path 'err_put' to properly release
the device nodes using of_node_put() and clean up the pointers when
an error occurs.
