And because I have a "test for .release in a kobject" patch in my tree
to help me debug.  That's what you are seeing.

Don't worry about these, they are all for things that are only
directories, and don't have release functions because they do not need
to at this time.  Pat is aware of these and someday we will divorce
kobjects from beeing needed just to create a subdirectory in sysfs.

These false warnings are the reason that patch never made it into the
main kernel tree, unlike the other .release checks in the driver model
code.

You can just disable that change in your copy of my tree if it's really
annoying you :)

thanks,
