Someone tried to put a "/" in a kobject name, which is not allowed.
Actually the name seems to be set to:
"Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G Framebuffer Driver"
which is a bit verbous if you want to create a directory name :)
I don't think that part of the driver has changed in some time. Is there
something new in your trees which would trigger this?
Seems like a fix such as this will be needed:

No, not that I know of.

Did the SUPPORTED_CHIPSETS macro change somehow?
Anyway, the patch looks correct to me.

It works.
