Yes, it builds because (apparently) some other header file is causing
<linux/kobject.h> to be sucked in. That's not how we prefer to have header
files used.

See Documentation/SubmitChecklist, item #1 (from Stephen Rothwell):

1: If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares
that facility. Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones
that you use.
