Yea, I'm 100% positive - the problem is that uevents for "struct
class_device" don't include the PHYSDEV* variables. This makes it
impossible for udev to reorder the events, e.g. wait for the device that
PHYSDEVPATH that the class device specifies. As a result you sometimes
get to process the event for an input device *before* the physical
device (e.g. USB interface) have been processed. SCSI generic devices
are affected in a similar way.
