Well, there are so many somewhat similar phrases being used for
slightly different things here that I'm afraid that I'll get confused
in the future when I come back to look at this stuff. But as you say,
I'm not sure there's a good way to make it clearer. You can just ignore
this bit if you want

At the moment, it seems more likely that if this function was called
twice, it would be due to a bug somewhere. Which is why I wondered
about printing a warning or something. I can't really imagine a
scenario where we'd want to change the device info after it was set.
Anyway, like I said, it's mostly a theoretical issue at this point.
