Which is in my opinion a side effect of the real issue.

Well, looks like you're treating a symptom and not the cause in this case,=
=20
isn't it? I'm not sold on the approach... We should probably try to instead=
=20
report a better string in the first place, not something equally bad but=20
translatable. I suspect the right fix would be in HAL, but that's maybe=20
something we could workaround.

In any case we probably want to make sure vendor()+product() gives us=20
something sensible, I'm not fan of having another method to call for that.

Could you provide your "solid-hardware list details" and solid-hardware lis=
t=20
nonportableinfo" outputs with the phone connected? Bonus point if you give =
us=20
the udi of the phone itself (makes it easier to look for the right info).

Regards.
