If you are holding the mutex then you don't really need a kref, just a
simple active count counter.

I've been a bit learly lately about seeing krefs used for something
other than kfree, I've seen a few subtle mistakes in those schemes -
yours looks OK, only because of the lock, and the lock makes the kref
redundant..

This also needs to set teedev->cdev.kobj.parent.
I'm guessing:

 teedev->cdev.kobj.parent = &teedev->dev.kobj;

TPM had the same mistake..

See for some general colour on IS_ERR_OR_NULL

IMHO, you should never, store an ERR pointer into long term storage,
so I wonder why this is like this...

Generally in a scheme like this we'd see open and release get/put the
underlying module handle to prevent driver removal while the char dev
is open. Otherwise module removal will hang here.
