Error message from device_rename in drivers/base/core.c

I am getting the following error message from drivers/base/core.c:
net eth1: device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)
Upon investigation, the call generating the error is renaming 'eth1' to 'eth1'. The following patch suppresses the error.
