No, hidpp->name should never be a NULL reference.
I asked myself about that (i.e. having a NULL reference until the hidpp
calls get_name), but I thought that having a non consistent name would
just confuse other contributors when implementing other devices.
So I choose to have always the current name of the device.

That could clarify it, yes. Will send a v2.

Hehe, I have been testing this by timely putting the device in the on
then off state. About 1 sec of ON is enough to trigger the various
failures :)

Thanks! (and thanks for the other v3)
