missing sysfs device symlink for platform devices

Why is the /sys/class/net/eth0/device symlink not created for the
mv643xx_eth driver? Does this work for other platform device drivers?
Seems to work for the ps2 keyboard at least.

/sys/class/input/input1/device -> ../../../devices/platform/i8042/serio1
