Subject: [PATCH] net: thunderx: Fix the ACPI memory leak
Git-commit: 661e5ebbafd26d9d2e3c749f5cf591e55c7364f5
Patch-mainline: v6.1-rc7
References: git-fixes
The ACPI buffer memory (string.pointer) should be freed as the buffer is
not used after returning from bgx_acpi_match_id(), free it to prevent
memory leak.
Fixes: 46b903a01c05 ("net, thunder, bgx: Add support to get MAC address from ACPI.")
