The kernel has a "never break userspace, even if userspace is broken" policy,
so if brought to the attention of the kernel developers, there will likely be
changes in the kernel.

On the other hand, I don't think it is the best approach here - it may take
weeks until a solution is found, if at all possible (improving handling of some
devices *AND* not breaking userspace), and more weeks until it reaches
distributions and users.

The culprit is likely the missing handling of the "bind" action in
solid/backends/shared/udev*.cpp (UdevQt) (which can likely be done by just
emitting deviceChanged), *and* the missing handling of deviceChanged in
solid/backends/devices/udev/udevmanager.cpp.

The changes in UdevQt are trivial, but the changes in udevmanager are likely
more evolved.
