 Considering your

       dev_set_name(&dev->dev, "input-%s", dev_name(dev->dev.parent));

what happens if I unplug and replug my wacom tablet while event node is
still opened and therefore all kobjects are still pinned into memory?

I'll let you think about just how stupid that comment was for a moment.

Hmm, I guess we are better now with cleaning and turning devices into
zombies waiting to be reaped. Still have to handle parent have several
input devices (HID devices quite often do it). And I still do not see
the point why we want to bother, the proper layer to report driver
errors is driver and object it is bound to.
