Loading module does not create /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0008:00 with kernel 3.11

Hi,
I've loaded the module, but I can't see /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0008:00.

If I try to access the module via acpi_call module, it works. Has there anything changed since kernel 3.9?

Issue with Dell XPS 13 (pre 2015)

Hi, after loading the module I see

/sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0008:00

however the directory structure seems to be different by the expected one. It contains:

rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 9 ott 12.20 driver -> ../../../../../../../bus/acpi/drivers/acpi_als
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 9 ott 12.22 hid
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 9 ott 12.49 iio:device0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 9 ott 12.22 modalias
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 9 ott 12.22 path
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 9 ott 12.49 physical_node -> ../../../../../../pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.0/PNP0C09:00/ACPI0008:00
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 9 ott 12.49 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 9 ott 12.22 status
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 9 ott 12.20 subsystem -> ../../../../../../../bus/acpi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 9 ott 12.22 uevent

subfolder "iio:device0" contains "in_illuminance_raw" which seems to give me current raw illuminance value. However gnome 3.18 seems not to detect the sensor and allow automatic display brightness adjustement. I have posted more details here:

Can you help me please?
