Andi's diagnosis is correct -- the embedded class_device was not fully
initialized -- but the solution is wrong.  The correct patch
is below.  This was clearly my fault, an error in driver-model
programming brought on by lack of documentation about which fields in the
driver-model structures need to be set for which API calls.  (Greg, long
ago I sent you a documentation patch to try and help remedy this problem,
but it seems to have fallen by the wayside.)
