Hi,

When running a kernel (from todays next-20190304) that has
CONFIG_KASAN and CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled I run into this
call trace:

==================================================================

I think patch introduced this issue d6760b14d4a1 ("i2c: dev: switch
from register_chrdev to cdev API")
and patch e6be18f6d62c ("i2c: dev: use after free in detach") tried to solve it.
However, when CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is enabled it delays
the ->release callback to make sure that anything that is done in release can
be done later than it happens in normal execution.
The cdev structure is supposed to be freed in the remove callback or after it,
but here it has already been freed by the put_i2c_dev().

Cheers,
Anders
