[PATCH 08/33] ACPI: Define acpi_put_table cleanup handler and acpi_get_table_ret() helper

From: Ben Horgan <ben.horgan@arm.com>
Date: 2025-11-07 12:36:10
Also in: linux-acpi, lkml
Subsystem: acpi, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Linus Torvalds

Define a cleanup helper for use with __free to release the acpi table when
the pointer goes out of scope. Also, introduce the helper
acpi_get_table_ret() to simplify a commonly used pattern involving
acpi_get_table().

These are first used in a subsequent commit.
