That's a kernel bug.  Should be fixed by commit b13800.
I think you can workaround by pointing audit2allow at the policy file
rather than having it read from the kernel,
audit2allow -p /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.29 -a

That's unrelated and has nothing to do with what devices you have on the
system.  Just some problem in the policy sources you are building or
perhaps the set of policy modules you have enabled.
