"fix" how?  What are you fixing?

Your email client ate all of the tabs, this patch can't be applied :(

Let me guess, you are using an out-of-tree driver that incorrectly sets
up the kobject and the hotplug userspace code doesn't like the <NULL> in
the strings?

Fix the driver, the kobject should have a name.
