[PATCH 6.18 494/752] ARM: omap2: Fix reference count leaks in omap_control_init()

[ Upstream commit 93a04ab480c8bbcb7d9004be139c538c8a0c1bc8 ]

The of_get_child_by_name() function increments the reference count
of child nodes, causing multiple reference leaks in omap_control_init():

1. scm_conf node never released in normal/error paths
2. clocks node leak when checking existence
3. Missing scm_conf release before np in error paths

Fix these leaks by adding proper of_node_put() calls and separate error
handling.
