device_unregister() already drops its reference to the struct device, so
explicitly calling put_device() before device_unregister() can cause the
device to have been freed before it can be unregistered.

I started investigating this problem yesterday and reached the same
conclusion. The connector path can be easily reproduced on i915.ko:
get a machine that has an eDP panel, physically disconnect the panel,
boot the machine, "modprobe i915" and watch the segfault.

I didn't really bisect, but I believe this is probably a regression
from "drm/sysfs: sort out minor and connector device object
lifetimes".
And kudos to whoever invented CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT :)

Thanks for fixing this. It was driving me nuts.

Yes, I think that's the one that broke it.
