commit dc70eb868b9cd2ca01313e5a394e6ea001d513e9 upstream.
The current code path can lead to warnings because of uninitialized device, which contains, as a consequence, uninitialized kobject. The uninitialized device is passed to of_platform_populate, which will at some point, while creating child device, try to get a reference on uninitialized parent, resulting in the following warning:
kobject: '(null)' ((ptrval)): is not initialized, yet kobject_get() is being called.
The warning is observed after migrating a kernel 5.10.x to 6.1.x. Reverting commit 0d70af3c2530 ("fpga: bridge: Use standard dev_release for class driver") seems to remove the warning. This commit aggregates device_initialize() and device_add() into device_register() but this new call is done AFTER of_platform_populate
