Back in the days, sysfs seemed to have refcounting issues and subsystems needed a completion to be safe. This is not the case anymore, so I2C can get rid of this code. There is noone else besides I2C doing something like this currently (checked with the attached coccinelle script which checks if a release function exists and if it contains a completion).
Have you validated this with DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled? -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
