Yes.  I just found some time to test my fixes and things are looking
good.  It really is just two one line fixes.

On the other part of this debug with SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled it
with mac80211_hwsim drivers works fine no problems.  I expect the
bnep driver will also be fine.

What is affecting those two is arguably a bug in the non-deprecated
sysfs mode.

Regardless here are my fixes.  I have split this into a patch for
the warning and a patch for sysfs_delete_link.  Because at least
the sysfs_delete_link code needs to make into 2.6.35 if we can.
