I've dropped the gregkh-driver-sysfs-* patches listed above from my tree
as Tejun is reworking the series to handle all of the different changes
that have been needed as they have been tested, so you shouldn't have to
worry about them.

But I would be interested in finding out why the above is breaking for
you.
