 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 :)
Seems like a fix such as this will be needed:
-	.name =		"Intel(R) " SUPPORTED_CHIPSETS " Framebuffer Driver",
+	.name =		"intelfb",
It works.
