+config SYSFS_DEPRECATED
+        bool "Create deprecated sysfs files"
+        default y
+        help
+          This option creates deprecated symlinks such as the
+          "device"-link, the <subsystem>:<name>-link, and the
+          "bus"-link. It may also add deprecated key in the
+          uevent environment.
+          None of these features or values should be used today, as
+          they export driver core implementation details to userspace
+          or export properties which can't be kept stable across kernel
+          releases.
+
+          If enabled, this option will also move any device structures
+          that belong to a class, back into the /sys/class heirachy, in
+          order to support older versions of udev.
+
+          If you are using a distro that was released in 2006 or later,
+          it should be safe to say N here.
