Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: fix a memleak issue related to ACPI/GPIO

There is a memleak reported as follows:

It requires to delete the handler object in function
acpi_remove_address_space_handler() but it just up the sem with function
acpi_os_release_mutex(), so use acpi_os_delete_mutex() instead of
acpi_os_release_mutex() in function
acpi_remove_address_space_handler().

Hi Xiang,

quoted
address_space.
+			acpi_os_delete_mutex(handler_obj->address_space.
 					      context_mutex);
Thanks for this suggestion! Instead of acpi_os_delete_mutex, could you try using acpi_ut_remove_reference instead?
I believe this will is a safer option. Please test this and see if it fixes the memory leak.

Thanks,
Erik
