I find the above debug messages very helpful in locating the buggy
driver. How about enabling it whenever CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is
enabled? Something like

 #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE
-       pr_debug("kobject: '%s' (%p): %s, parent %p (delayed)\n",
+       printk(KERN_INFO "kobject: '%s' (%p): %s, parent %p (delayed)\n",
                 kobject_name(kobj), kobj, __func__, kobj->parent);

pr_debug() won't be displayed by default, and it depends on
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG.
