This is for discussion so I didn't cc stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yet. I was

feels ill-use of devices directory and probably causes more troubles
elsewhere.
Do you foresee troubles already? I am still in favour of a symlink.
I haven't looked at this for a while but one problem was that devices/
directory belongs to private structure of struct bus_type and in order
to create a symlink there it needs to done in drivers/base/bus.c:
bus_add_device() which felt quite hackish to me.
