Ah you meant > 0, not >= 0. I already partially answered that, but my current assumption is that Windows will never let a device that has a DeviceAddress of 0 be accessible, since it wouldn't have been able to fetch the data (descriptors) it needs to have to instantiate it. We do issue an IOCTL to a hub to get the DeviceAddress, so there's still a remote possibility we get a zero if we're unlucky enough to query the hub before low level OS initialization is complete. However, our querying of the hub is tied to already having identified a device instantiated by Windows, and trying to populate some of its data. Thus that DeviceAddress 0 entry we see should be an extra entry that will be dropped, as failing to matching anything we know.
