The fact that udev removes and creates the device node seems like a symptom
rather than the cause; this would indicate that the kernel is generating hotplug
events for the device (and so possibly the device is being removed and recreated
in the kernel).

Do you have any references for the SUSE issue? Perhaps we can learn from their
experience.
