The function kobject_create() is only used by one caller, kobject_create_and_add(), no other driver uses it, nor is exported to other modules. However it's still exported in kobject.h, and can sometimes confuse users of kobject.h. Since all users should call kobject_create_and_add(), or if extra attributes are needed, should alloc the memory manually then call kobject_init_and_add().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
