Thanks for the patch. I agree with your analysis, but I'm concerned about 
devices that might have extension units not connected to any chain. They would 
become unaccessible.

Devices for which extension unit control mappings have been published have all 
their XUs connected to a chain, so I'm OK with the patch. I will add a TODO 
comment to remind me of the issue, and I'll solve the problem later if it ever 
occurs.
