Subject: [2.6.37-rc1] wait_for_sysfs prints errors.

Hello.

I noticed that udevd-event started to print error messages.

  Starting udev: udevd-event[1682]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/ioerr_cnt' failed
  udevd-event[2103]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/target0:0:1/ioerr_cnt' failed
  udevd-event[2102]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/target0:0:0/ioerr_cnt' failed

These error messages are caused by one or more of below commits.
(Sorry, I can't find exact one because I can't boot as of below commits.)

5cfc64ce "base/platform: Safe handling for NULL platform data and resources"
807508c8 "base/platform: Simplifications for NULL platform data/resources handling"
39aba963 "driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices"

Is this a regression? (Is this an intended change?)

2.6.36 was OK and below is tail of bisection log.
