Subject: [PATCH] cleanup up symlinks


When a device fails to register the class symlinks where not cleaned up. 
This left a symlink in the /sys/class/"device"/ directory that pointed to 
no where. This caused the sysfs_follow_link Oops I reported earlier. This 
patch cleanups up the symlink. Please apply. Thank you.
