Isn't the other alternative to just remove the second kobject_put from
KOBJ_REMOVE ?

@@ -1149,7 +1147,6 @@ int software_node_notify(struct device *dev,
unsigned long action)

if (swnode->managed) {
set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL);
- kobject_put(&swnode->kobj);
}
break;
default:

If we aren't being incremented in device_create_managed_software_node() then
should we be decremented here?
