Beware of words like "also" and "and" in commit messages. Often they are
a good indication that the patch shold be split into multiple ones.
Though in this case I can't really make up my mind if it's fine since
the changes are so strongly related. I'll leave it up to you to think
about it and decide if you can cleanly split this into two patches or
not.

It looks to me like shortened names are completely ignored after this
patch, even to the extent that if there's a shortened name the memory
will be leaked if adapter_update_found_devices returns TRUE.

If we don't have any name in storage and all we have is a shortened name
then I think it should be included in the DeviceFound signal (which is
what the existing code does).
