Okay, this patch fixes the segfault. However, if ^this generated it because the
driver name is not set, how do we even get to the resulting device tree as
outlined in 05e6cdafa6e0?

+- css_0_0_003a
    |
    +- ccw_0_0_1a2b
        |
        +- scsi_host0

What kind of CSS device is the one causing the error? If we skip this CSS
device, we don't generate a name for it and don't put it in the list, so I'm
quite puzzled on what I missed in the IBM document and thus in the review
process.

FWIW:
