We suppress all the "useless" links now.

The path to a platform device is pretty pointless, it just repeats the
kernel device name and usually does not provide any add-on value. The
by-path links are mainly for complex storage topologies, and identify
more positions on a bus than a device. They probably have no real meaning
for things like mmc.

What would you need it for?

Why would by-path/ here any better than the kernel device name?
