do you always see these messages with every modprobe of a module?

Can you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y? It might give a hint where we

configured. The "notes" kobject tries to reference the module kobject as
a parent, which isn't initialized in that case.

Does that fix it?

Idea was good and below is patch which compiles and works. BTW, all noises
about improper ifdefs or more core than necessary should be ignored for
now -- sysfs stuff really wants to be separated into module-sysfs.c
