Ah, ok, I missed ..../device/... part.  Then it's correct.
If it doesn't change, it means that the udev rule isn't correctly
installed or activated by some reason.  You can check the udev log, or
just check via udevadm monitor and udevadm trigger.  For a temporary
testing, you can of course change the sysfs entry manually...

You're testing with Haswell and 3.13-rc1, right?
