device_create() will register the device in sysfs and send uevent. So, your
original udev rule/code will not work, since it always would read
a mac address of 0, as proposed_mac is not populated when the device is
announced. That is, unless udev is scheduled after the mac is read.

I think the device_add/device_create() which triggers the uevent should be
delayed until everything is available.
