Ok, so yeah nothing on the read/write path checks assigned. So yeah
it has marked the device as not being assigned but that doesn't
actually stop anything from communicating with the device, the
dev_num is still the same one the hardware has. Assigned is only
checked when handling slave status events.

So I think your point is valid this code should also be changed
although the only way it can currently go wrong is if a new device
registered on the bus at exactly this moment and was assigned the
dev_num of the old device.

Likely will be the new year before I get the time to think
through the details.

Thanks,
Charles
