Understood, so I guess, I was just lucky in this case. Please ignore that
comment about the label on the device then, as it’s unrelated to the problem at

Either way, relabeling is a regression, as it breaks user space, where people
might use xrandr scripts to set certain things up, which doesn’t work anymore.
