Oops!

My comment was valid in general but at the bus level. With the benefit
of hindsight, I don't think this comment is valid in this callback.

update_status is either called with UNATTACHED, or with ATTACHED/ALERT
after programming dev_num to a value > 0.

It's not wrong to leave the code as is, but it's likely to be an
always-true condition.
