This needs a better name.  It doesn't really have anything to do with
uniqueness and doesn't ensure exclusivity.  I think that it would be
fine to keep the 'master' term.

Hmm. I admit that "unique" I do not like too much as well. But "master"
I like even less.

This flag should ensure exclusivity. Only one upper device with this
flag can be present at a time.

Well, can't we simply call it "upper_device"?

And as we only have a single field, this is exclusive by design.
