Last time I checked this is still what mainline
drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c is doing for struct device pseudo_primary:

static void pseudo_0_release(struct device *dev)
{
        if (SCSI_DEBUG_OPT_NOISE & scsi_debug_opts)
                printk(KERN_INFO "scsi_debug: pseudo_0_release() called\n");
}

static struct device pseudo_primary = {
        .init_name      = "pseudo_0",
        .release        = pseudo_0_release,
};

so for these type of things in TCM_Loop I tend to follow what scsi_debug does,
 so I don't exactly see a issue here atm.  Anybody else have comments..?

Best,
