Better rio(4) diff than before.

"Stable device unique name" sounds like a violation of that rule about
the order in adjectives in English, although "device unique name"
appears elsewhere and so may be a technical term not to be rearranged.

Or perhaps I'm looking at a missing hyphen (stable device-unique name)
rather than wrong order. The order the words are already in would be
correct in this case.

inb4 device isn't an adjective

That rule is prescriptivist nonsense and it's only brought up to
gatekeep ESL speakers.  I propose it be ignored entirely, and I propose
it with the entirety of my heart-shaped red American solitary heart.

"stable, device-unique name" parses best to me.
If you need a rule: multiple adjectives get commas, compound adjectives get hyphens.

I'd change it entirely: 'device identifier'.
