Thank you Nathan for the analysis and suggested fix. I agree your
patch would be useful even if the warning wasn't there, to make the
device probe more robust.

Being a new contributor I'm not quite sure what the process is now -
should I send out a patch with the correction, just as I did for the
initial contribution? Or is it going to be fixed by the maintainers
autonomously? (Obviously adding a Suggested-by tag with the rest of
the bots' tags).

Thank you for your help
