I pushed now two more patches:
 - waveout: Simplify setting the device description
 - device-manager: Add a sanity check for reading entries

The first review round didn't raise concerns about those patches, they
are pretty trivial and I don't want to carry them in v2, since they are
only tangentially related to nodes.
