I was concerned about the fact that changing the name of a file, 
directory, or symbolic link in sysfs means changing a user API, and so 
it might cause some existing programs to fail.  That would be a 
regression.

Perhaps the best way to work around the problem is to leave the name set 
to "gadget" if the ID number is 0, while adding the ID number on to the 
name if the value is > 0.  What do you think?
