Greetings,

I got the below dmesg and the first bad commit is

commit c817a67ecba7c3c2aaa104796d78f160af60920d

    kobject: delayed kobject release: help find buggy drivers
    
    Implement debugging for kobject release functions.  kobjects are
    reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not
    predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be
    the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release
    function being immediately called.
    
    This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a
    reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed.
    This results in the release method being delayed.
    
    In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following
    patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the
    release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of
    the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was
    being held.
    
    This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug
    their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.
