The intel_pmc_ipc() function uses ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER to allocate memory
for the ACPI evaluation result but never frees it, causing a 192-byte
memory leak on each call.
This leak is triggered during network interface initialization when the
stmmac driver calls intel_mac_finish() -> intel_pmc_ipc().

Add __free(kfree) for ACPI object to properly release the allocated buffer.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
