Honestly I don't see what the conflict is in the first place. Can you explain? The way I see it, He had the power to give us free will, and so He chose to do so. How does this contradict his omnipotence?
(And to clarify, God is omnipotent only as it applies to His nature, which is good)
Can you surprise your god? Can you change his plans?
If "yes", then he is not omniscient, and not omnipotent, assuming his plans comport with the good nature you assert as the basis for his omnipotence.
If "no", then you cannot have free will.
