SubjectRe: borked sysfs system devices in 2.5.72

My question was how the hell it was getting there in the first place, and
I see that the type of the object isn't getting set properly, so it
defaults to treat it as a struct subsystem.

Could you please try the following patch, and let me know if it works?

Thanks,
