I didn't claim different. This obviously works only for ISA qdev
devices.

You don't like double-claim checking? Forget about it (all 3 lines
of code). The real point of the patch is to have ISA resources used
by devices to be stored in common place (ISADevice) which allows
get_dev_path() to be implemented.
