Is this TODO done?

Why nest them so deep?  Anyway, that's not really an issue I guess, it's
your ABI, not mine :)

Huh?  Why do you need to use kobjects?

When you switch from using a 'struct device' and hang a kobject off of
it, that's a huge signal that something is wrong here.  That kobject
will now no longer be part of the device "chain" in the system, uevents
will get odd, and other strange things can happen.

Why can't you just use "normal" attributes attached to the device?  You
shouldn't need a kobject here.  What am I missing?

Same here, why are you using kobjects for this "device"?  Shouldn't you
use a real struct device for dpX?

Oh wait, you are?  I'm confused, is this a real device or not?

How are you handling the sysfs files showing up "after" the device is
registered and userspace not seeing them?  Have you tried using libudev
to get the attributes?  Does this all work properly?  I think with the
use of a kobject that breaks, and that's not good.

So a differently reference counted device is hanging off of this?
That's the big objection to using a kobject here and should have been a
clue that this isn't ok.

Same here.
