- This is missing a KOBJ_DEL uevent if you did a KOBJ_ADD uevent.
- Calling kfree() after you already registered the kobject via
kobject_add() is wrong, since someone else might already have obtained
a reference. You must drop your reference after kobject_del() and let
the release mechanism take care of it.

Same here. You should probably also delete the link you created above.
