Hmm, i have a concern WRT to that link - it is only present if driver
is registered from a code compiled as a module. If driver is built-in
THIS_MODULE is NULL and symlink will not be created. Hovewer
/sys/modules/<module> is created regardless of whether module is a
module or built-in. So the behavior is inconsistent and it looks like
a replacement is needed.
