That ends a prolonged session of head-scratching. I'll update the commit
explanation to reflect this conversation.

(Perhaps it's reasonable to wish to use two identical gigaset adapters
simultaneously. But given that the gigaset drivers have never supported
it, that hardly matters. So I might remove the proto-support for
multiple devices one day. That's far from urgent.)

Thanks for sticking around!
