There are error cases when we will call free_srv before device kobject is initialized; in such cases calling put_device generates the following warning, kobject: '(null)' (000000009f5445ed): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called. It was suggested by Jason to call device_initialize() sooner. So call device_initialize() only once when the server is allocated. If we end up calling put_srv() and subsequently free_srv(), our call to put_device() would result in deletion of the obj. Call device_add() later when we actually have a connection. Correspondingly, call device_del() instead of device_unregister() when srv->dev_ref falls to 0.
