I've been looking at this this as well, and I think it might be better to just
drop the reference immediately in acpi_nfit_add() after we're done processing
the tables?  

Anyway, here's the patch I was working on, but I think either works.

Subject: [PATCH] nfit: release reference on ACPI nfit table

Currently acpi_nfit_add() grabs a reference to the ACPI NFIT table
structures via acpi_get_table(), but never releases it with
acpi_put_table().  This means that the refcount protecting the ioremap for
the NFIT table never decrements, so the ioremap can never be undone.  The
ioremap happens via this path:

acpi_get_table()
  acpi_tb_get_table()
    acpi_tb_validate_table()
      acpi_tb_acquire_table()
        acpi_os_map_memory()

In practice this fix is correct but won't have a usable visible impact
because the ACPI sysfs code (acpi_table_attr_init() et al.), which
populates /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/NFIT, also keeps a table reference, so
the NFIT table memory will always remain mapped.

We drop the refcount at the end of acpi_nfit_add() instead of waiting till
driver unload and doing it via acpi_nfit_remove() or something akin to
acpi_nfit_destruct() called via the devm_ interface.  This is because
during acpi_nfit_add() we never actually keep any references to the
original ACPI tables.  We either copy individual elements out, or we make
whole copies of tables in functions like add_spa(), add memdev(), etc.
