What one currently gets is: failed to read '/sys/bus/mdev/devices/<UUID>/mdev_type/device_api': No such file or directory This indicates that something is missing within the device's sysfs tree which likely might be not be the case here because the device simply doesn't exist yet. So, when creating our internal mdev obj, let's check whether the device exists first prior to trying to verify the user-provided model within domain XML.
