Yes - Enabling CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED didn't help.
Ok, you are correct, for a stupid reason, this option didn't correctly
work for a range of device types (I can get into the gory details if
anyone really cares...)

I've now fixed this up, and a few other bugs that I kept tripping on
(which others also hit), and have refreshed my tree so that the next -mm
will be much better in this area.

If the problem persists (and I've built a zillion different kernels in
different configurations today testing to make sure it doesn't), please
let me know.

I can post updated patches here if people want them.

thanks for everyone's patience, I appreciated it.
Thanks for fixing this up. If you could post a diff somewhere against
either mainline or -mm, would make it easy to run through
test.kernel.org before you wake up tommorow ;-)

Oops, the newest -mm just came out without any of the driver core
patches in it due to the problems. I'll wait until the next -mm release
then, and try to go catch up on my pending-patch-queue right now
instead...

If we can test it out of sync, it'd save potentially messing up another
-mm cycle. The problem is that it blocks lots of other patches from
getting tested ...
