It shows up in the root of it’s kset, i.e. /sys/firmware/devicetree/overlays

It’s a common idiom in the kernel as evident by:

$ grep 'kobject_add([^,]*,[^,]NULL' drivers/ -r
drivers/of/base.c:		rc = kobject_add(&np->kobj, NULL, "%s",
drivers/firmware/memmap.c:	if (kobject_add(&entry->kobj, NULL, "%d", map_entries_nr++))
drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-map.c:	ret = kobject_add(&entry->kobj, NULL, "%d", nr);

There’s a single drop. Only kobject_put drops the reference. But you’re right,
the kobject_del is not required; it’s performed implicitly by the kobj_cleanup()
method.

Fixing in the new patch.
