Backed out previous commit. devname.3 and devname.c were broken in Lite1
(devname() returned "??" when the lookup failed, but callers expected it
to return NULL). This was fixed in Lite2, but until recently the changes
were only merged into devname.3. A day or two after devname.c was fixed,
devname.3 was made inconsistent again by backing out most of the Lite2
changes.
