The error path from a zero value of the "shunt-resistor-micro-ohms"
property does not decrement the refcount of the child node.

Instead of adding the missing fwnode_handle_put(), a safer fix for
future modifications is using the _scoped version of the macro,
which removes the need for fwnode_handle_put() in all error paths.

The macro defines the child node internally, which removes the need for
the current child node declaration as well.

Please do.
