All of the printk's that I added were making it fail to apply.

So, I took a 4.10-rc3 kernel with i915 compiled in (not as a module) and
applied e73ab00e9a0f17, which I grabbed from linux-next.

I'm seeing basically the same behavior that I did before applying
e73ab00e9a0f17.  sysfs_create_dir_ns() fails because of a NULL kobj->parent.

Have you guys tried testing this yourselves?  It seems really easy to
reproduce if you just compile the driver in.
