[PATCH] PNPACPI: Fix device ref leaking in acpi_pnp_match

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Sat Mar 03 2012 - 16:29:54 EST


During testing pci root bus removal, found some root bus bridge is not freed.

If booting with pnpacpi=off, those hostbridge could be freed without problem.

It turns out that some devices reference are not released during acpi_pnp_match.

that match should not hold one device ref during every calling.

Add pu_device calling before returning.
