Earlier?  No, not that I know of at all, as long as the reference
counting logic was correct originally.  All of the problems we have been
fixing were ones where we accidentally were grabbing too many references
and then wondering why things were not getting cleaned up properly as
the kobject rework exposed these problems making them more obvious.

I haven't heard of the opposite happening.  Anything that I can try to
test for here, I have a lot of removable input devices to test with.

thanks,
