What device name are you referring to exactly?
I was looking at the `wiimote_devtype_names` table,
but I figured out its only used for logging.

What I actually wanted, was a way to return a propper name to the user,
with a controller/player ID.
When listing bluetooth devices, I have 4 entries like the following:
    `Device <UNIQUE MAC> Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR` (x4)
I wanted to display a friendly name to the user, like the one on dmesg:
    `Nintendo Wii Remote Plus (Gen 2) (1)` (where 1 is the player id).

If you think it makes sense, and its possible, I would love to make
this change in this or a future set :)
Anyway, I like the series. I will review your v2 properly, so please go ahead!
Thanks, will do!
