Hmm, looked at it, but currently I can't see what's wrong from a driver
core perspective...

This looks suspiciously like someone tried to decrease a refcount on a
freed kobject. Unfortunately, we only see this after the fact with slub
debugging turned on :( So could you please turn it off again (but leave
kobject debugging on) and try with the following silly debug patch:
