Hmm. I'd rather write is this way:

 	case ODEBUG_STATE_INIT:
 	case ODEBUG_STATE_INACTIVE:
 		obj->state = ODEBUG_STATE_INIT;
 		raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&db->lock, flags);
 		return;
 	default:
 		break;
 	}
 
	o = *obj;
 	raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&db->lock, flags);

	debug_print_object(&o, "init");
	if (o.state == ODEBUG_STATE_ACTIVE)
		debug_object_fixup(descr->fixup_init, addr, o.state);

This spares the 'obj' pointer modification and the conditional. The
extra raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() is not the end of the world.

Hrmm. Just keep the

	struct debug_obj o = { .object = addr, .state = ODEBUG_STATE_NOTAVAILABLE, .descr = descr };

around and get rid of this else clause.

Plus a similar change as above to get rid of this conditional and just
have the failure path here.

Same here.
	struct debug_obj o = { .object = addr, .state = ODEBUG_STATE_NOTAVAILABLE, .descr = descr };
        ...
        
 	if (obj) {
 		switch (obj->state) {
		case ODEBUG_STATE_DESTROYED:
			o = *obj;
			break;
 		case ODEBUG_STATE_INIT:
 		case ODEBUG_STATE_INACTIVE:
 		case ODEBUG_STATE_ACTIVE:
			if (obj->astate) {
				o = *obj;
				break;
			}
			obj->state = ODEBUG_STATE_INACTIVE;
			fallthrough;
 		default:
			raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&db->lock, flags);
			return;
 		}
 	}

 	raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&db->lock, flags);
	debug_print_object(&o, "deactivate");

Hmm?

Same pattern here.
