Nice find, and a much better description than was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221216031320.2634-1-alice.chao@mediatek.com/
Alice, does this patch resolve your problem as well?

Just return an int and an error value, bool isn't a normal return value,
right?

Return -EINVAL or something?
What if length ends up 0 here, is that going to be ok?

Make this one line:
if (fill_kobj_path(kobj, path, len)) {
But, you now have a loop, what guarantees that you can get out of it?
