A quick update.   My patchset conflicts with the recently added
  driver-core-suppress-sysfs-warnings-for-device_rename.patch

This patch is unnecessary as that path is never exercised anymore.
as: dev_change_name returns early in the case of a noop rename.

In addition my introduction sysfs_rename_link handles this case
cleanly by first removing the old link and then creating the new
link.  Preventing false positives when the link names are the same.

So it should be safe to drop Cornelia patch without a reoccurance
of scary errors.
