I'd add a to_cma_kobject() helper to improve readability.

unsigned int, for consistency

There is no need to initialize this variable.

Checkpatch should warn that kzalloc(*kobj, ..) is a better variant.

I'd also rename kobj to cma_kobj everywhere, for clarity.

kobject_init_and_add returns a error code, it could be different from
ENOMEM. Won't hurt to propagate the proper error code.
