I've found the problem. Somehow I managed it with a patch i posted 
recently (3/9) to get the rtc_device_unregister() back into the 
remove-function of rtc-hid-sensor-time. Might be happend when rebasing 
the patch from 3.9.x to 3.10 or similiar, I don't know or remember.

I haven't seen it, because the backtrace doesn't show it. So what 
happend was likely:

remove -> rtc_device_unregister() (ok)
device remove -> devm -> rtc_device_unregister() (again) -> Crash.

Sorry for the noise.
