It's wrong for any subsystem to ever create a file or link named "device". It's a built-in driver-core managed property which appears automatically as soon as the parent-device relations are correctly established. Udev/libudev intentionally refuses to follow any devices pointed to by "broken" device links. So this patch is needed to make ATM devices working properly with usual userspace tools.
