A full sysfs path really looks pretty ugly, partly because we'd have to really change all our naming (look at PCI devices now: they end up looking like
pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0
where that "0000:00" is duplicated because we wanted to make dev_name() look nice).
I think Dmitry's idea to stop when we hit the actual "physical" device might just work in practice. So we'd show the dev_name() of the actual piece of hardware, and then perhaps one or two "layering" details on top of it. And it wouldn't change anything for the current common case where people tend to pass in the physical device as-is.
