Not at all.  I'd wager that if a driver is messing around with a "raw"
kobject, it is doing something seriously wrong.  Of course there are
exceptions, but those are very rare, and exceptions.  A driver should be
using the driver core, and the functions and objects provided there, and
provided by the bus it lives on.

So, have a pointer to some driver code that is calling
kobject_initialize()?  I'd love to see it.
