[PATCH] acpi: configfs: Unload SSDT on configfs entry removal

From: Jan Kiszka
Date: Mon May 29 2017 - 07:33:48 EST


Enhance acpi_load_table to also return the table index. Use that index
to unload the table again when the corresponding directory in configfs
gets removed. This allows to change SSDTs without rebooting the system.
It also allows to destroy devices again that a dynamically loaded SSDT
created.

This is widely similar to the DT overlay behavior.

Can someone explain to me why an unloaded table still sticks around in
sysfs and why we cannot release its ID and rather have to use a new one
when loading a modified version?
