If the bus is really 100% transparent, who *cares* what
its device_type is, since it won't provide any information
to you that the empty "ranges" property doesn't already.

And if it's not, then you should show what type of bus
it is since clearly some information _is_ needed.

To make things easier, just always say what kind of
thing the bus really is :-)
