Yeah, your patch is more correct.

I'm not so sure about removing the merging of info.category, though.  I
actually think that Danny's patch should be reverted.  The idea being
that the classic definition of category vs. capability was what the
device is vs. what the device does.  An audio player should appear as an
audio player; apps should deal with them as such and present UIs
appropriate to that.  The fact that they're also a storage device is a
technical detail... That's what it does, not what it is.
