Like with /sys/module, its not trying to *open* sysfs_mod_name directory
either so it shouldn't claim to do so.
I did use plural on purpose when I said "the debug messages are
incorrect/misleading. It's certainly not trying to *open* these
directories so it should not claim to do so" in my previous mail :)
