There is indeed a bug in libdevinfo.

devinfo_init() initialises the devinfo_dev tailq, devinfo_generation and
sets devinfo_initted to 1.

devinfo_free() clears devinfo_dev and sets devinfo_initted to 0 but
devinfo_generation keeps its value.

Now devinfo_dev doesn't get filled because ubus.ub_generation ==
devinfo_generation.
Here is a patch that resets devinfo_generation to 0 in devinfo_free().
The whole file can probably be simplified a bit due to this bug.
