Note, no 'struct device' should ever have a "raw" kobject hanging off of
it.  If so, something went wrong.

If you do this, userspace will never be notified of the attributes and
any userspace representation of the tree will be messed up.

Please, use an attribute directory with a name, or if you really need to
go another level deep, use a real 'struct device'.  As-is here, I can't
take it.

thanks,
