This is nice, thanks for fixing this! However how is "unique" id
guaranteed? Especially when multiple virtual drivers are stacked? Not
necessarily all of them may use the dev_id, but to avoid any possible
collision, shouldn't the device hierarchy (especially lower_dev) be
traversed before settling on the initial value?
