Consider it addressed to those responsible.
Also, avoid creating card* instance. It makes no sense in that case.
Well, the 'new' entries don't interfere with old-- and we inevitably are going to end up with a situation where some software can only read the 'new' entries and some software can only read the 'old', otherwise why offer compatability at all? I interpreted the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option to mean 'also offer the deprecated entries in addition to the new structure', otherwise the name should be CONFIG_SYSFS_OLDSTYLE or some such to imply they're mutually exclusive....
(So... what's wrong with my patch?)
As it turns out, nothing (I made some error somewhere initially when testing it). Apologies if I wasn't clear. (Well, it's incomplete like my original patch was in that it only changed the device symlinks for controlX and pcmX; the other entries still had device entries pointing at card*).
