All CAPS for your name?  Is that how it is written on documents (for
some countries this is normal, but usually not, so I have to ask.)

This use of __free() for device_node would be the first one in the tree
(outside of a macro in a .h file.)  Is this really what the OF
maintainer wants to have happen here for this type of pattern?

And if so, why this random USB driver being the first one?  Have you
tested this?

Nit, this function should be rewritten to not work like this, the
"common" path should not be indented, but only the exception (i.e. bail
if ep is not allocated properly.)
