If I would see 0000:00:00.0 in the logmessage I would become scared that
something is dereferencing cleared memory, use after free or whatever.
Only by looking into the code I could see that this code simply has no
idea which device it is on. Well, then don't print an address when you
don't have one instead of inventing one.
