Are you actually seeing an issue in practice?
In arm_smmu_add_platform_device, iommu_group_alloc --> group->device_kobj ref count will be init to 1. iommu_group_add_device --> group->device_kobj ref count will be added 1 to 2.
In arm_smmu_remove_device: iommu_group_remove_device --> Decrease group->device_kobj ref count by 1. After arm_smmu_remove_device, the ref count of group->device_kobj is not 0.
So I think need to add iommu_group_put after iommu_group_add_device. If I am wrong, please correct me.
Just code inspection, not have a platform to test this.
Regards, Peng.
