The problem is with device crypto. It attaches to nexus(4) and
expects to be the only child. As you can see from the log, all
children of nexus suddenly become instantiations of cryptosoft(4)
rather then the usual drivers that attach.

The swcr_probe() function should check that the device it gets
is really the one created for it.
