I've read what you have to say, and your point is logical.

However you've just also stated that dev_id isn't even needed to solve
the particular problems you're interested in.

I'm not against exporting the value.  But let's do it because it does
solve a problem, not because it's fun to export every object instance
variable via sysfs :-)
