Side note. When I preparing this change I have noticed a lot of

dev_set_name(... dev_name())

in the code which seems to me problematic in two ways:
1) (minor) the dev_set_name() may fail, no checks are there;
2) (major?) the above construction leaks memory.

Is it on purpose (esp. second point)? If no, can it be fixed?
Note, I'm not familiar with OF platform code, so I would help
reviewing the change, but that's it.
