Error message:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:0b.4/microamps_requested_vmmc'

Rafael, does this mean anything to you?  I think we should close this out unless we can do something about it.

Per Mark Brown, this is "probably a bug in whatever driver is requesting the supply twice."

The backtrace below (from the original report) suggests that this is the sdhci driver.

Kernel bluetooth oops

Hi guys,

I see a very similar error with a bluetooth devices on my system:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:21'

I'm running 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu version.

It doesn't seem like a driver specific bug, but rather the kernel does not detect and remove the directories fast enough.
In my case I can trigger this error by switching the bluetooth keyboard off and back on again within a minute or so.

Should I report it as a separate bug?

I've attached a full trace, just in case.

Also another guy seems to have the same problem but with different kernel version, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2007814
