I do not want the notifier to show this information in the device view; indeed, for \
devices with a label, the mount point is /media/<label>, so the information about the \
mount point would look like quite redundant. Perhaps you could show it in a tooltip, \
instead; that would be acceptable imho
In any case, the "trouble with unmounting" usecase should be resolved in some other \
way (e.g. by making use of lsof in solid to identify blocking apps), so I am not \
super-sure that the user should be given such specific information as /dev/xxxx.

is no indication of what the Unix name of the device is or where it is mounted. This \
information may be useful to the user for (a) accessing the mounted device from \
non-KDE applications, or (b) troubleshooting mounting or unmounting problems.
The attached patch shows this information when the device is hovered over, just above \
the "N actions for this device" text. Depending on whether or not the \
device is mounted, there are three possibilities that can be shown here:
/dev/XXX when not mounted
/dev/XXX mounted on /media/YYYY when mounted
/dev/XXX mounted if mounted but the mount point is not available
