I can't reproduce this with 2.6.11-rc2, could you try this patch to
see if it matters.
Puzzled, because the assert is.
BUG_ON(!kobj || !kobj->dentry || !name);
and call is
err = sysfs_create_link(&p->kobj, &br->dev->class_dev.kobj,
SYSFS_BRIDGE_PORT_LINK);
kobj can't be NULL, because &p->kobj can't be NULL
kobj->dentry is created by kobject_add
name is SYSFS_BRIDGE_PORT_LINK ("bridge")
The kobj->dentry should have been created by kobject_add()
kobject_set_name(&p->kobj, SYSFS_BRIDGE_PORT_ATTR);
p->kobj.ktype = &brport_ktype;
p->kobj.parent = &(p->dev->class_dev.kobj);
p->kobj.kset = NULL;
err = kobject_add(&p->kobj);
and kobject_add does.
err = create_dir(kobj);
create_dir calls sysfs_create_dir(kobj).
===================
Since kobject_register initializes more fields, perhaps some part of kobject_add
got confused. Try this.
