What happend to Dimitry Torokovs comment in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111232712029756&w=2
and your reply in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111232954415119&w=2
According to linux/device.h:250, class_simple_device_add() has a
printf() like argument, so you don't need to snprintf() the name on your
own.

Add support for sysfs to the IPMI device interface.
