I confirm that I also get such warnings for every platform device in the 
system with this patch applied to linux next-20200715:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/base/core.c:1790 device_release+0x94/0x98
Device '10023c40.power-domain:13620000.sysmmu' does not have a release() 
function, it is broken and must be fixed. See 
Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst.
