Apparently udev can't see them.

"The first thing you need to do is find a directory somewhere in /sys
that corresponds to your hardware, and includes a file named "dev", as
udevinfo can only work on directories of this type. These directories
are all found under either /sys/block or /sys/class - there is no point
looking anywhere else!"

User-mode drivers don't give the device a block or class designator, and
so udev won't handle them.
