Can you elaborate regarding the circular dependency issue you are
referring to? IIUC, lifespan for struct tee_device would look like
below with normal teedev_open():

optee_probe() {
  ...
  tee_device_alloc()            <- teedev->num_users = 1
  tee_device_register()
  optee_notif_init()               <- tee_device_get()
  ...
}

optee_remove() {
  ...
  optee_notif_uninit()           <- tee_device_put()
  tee_device_unregister()    <- tee_device_put()
  ...
}
