Sorry, I expressed myself badly. My point was that there are other "goto
fail" instances later in the function. If those are triggered, should
the device that is created here be removed? My own opinion is, after you
pointed out that we shouldn't remove devices if parsing their properties
fails, that we shouldn't remove the device here either in case of
failure. We should keep device objects around for every device that we
ever see (until we get InterfacesRemoved).

I noticed a couple of related bugs: there are two
pa_bluetooth_discovery_get_device_by_path() calls in bluez5-util.c, and
in both cases the code doesn't take it into account that the function
returns a non-NULL pointer only if device_info_valid equals 1. If a
device has a device_info_valid value of 0 or -1, we create a duplicate
device object.

One of the calls is in the quoted code, i.e. in
endpoint_set_configuration(). How should we handle a device_info_valid
value of 0 or -1 in this case? I think endpoint_set_configuration()
should fail for -1, and succeed for 0.

The other call is in parse_interfaces_and_properties(). There the
handling should be the same: fail for -1, and succeed for 0.

In my opinion it's a bug in bluetoothd if it mentions device object
paths before sending a corresponding InterfacesAdded signal.
