Hi Robert,

thank you for testing.

I'm just stumbling across these, TBH.

I have test enabled:
+CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y

Is this a regression (did it work before?), or a new test that you
newly run?

linuxnext-20191119 does not look to have the issue - that's when I cherry-pick your refcount fix - but has lots of memory leaks:

Unfortunately v5.4 has similar memory leaks.
