Thank you for pointing this out. I've fixed this (and the other
drivers) by make sure that the slot names are initialized before
we attempt to use them.

Trying to fix rpaphp was too much work for very little gain, so I
deleted that patch from my patch series. But the changes to the
hotplug core still make sense, so it's ok to have just one
oddball left.

I'll wait until Kenji-san sends out his final review comments
before sending out v4.

Thanks.
