Yep, but the symlink created in /sys/bus/wmi/devices isn't.
That's where the kernel complains about duplicate sysfs
attributes.

It's not exactly a pretty path I submitted, but it does avoid
those collisions.

Example (with this in place from /sys/bus/wmi/devices):
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 8 21:39 PNP0C14:04-70FE8229-D03B-4214-A1C6-1F884B1A892A -> ../../../devices/platform/PNP0C14:04/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:04/PNP0C14:04-70FE8229-D03B-4214-A1C6-1F884B1A892A
