Cite from the master attribute list:

/--------------
device= is the device name of the symbol and is required by gnetlist.
\--------------

However, I forgot the device attribute in some of my symbols and gnetlist 
did not seem to care at all. Netlist generation was just fine. What is 
the purpose of the device attribute? Should the master attribute list be 
adjusted to reflect that the device attribute is not really required? Or 
should gnetlist be patched to issue an error on omission?

/--------------
Generally the device name is in all caps.
\--------------

What is the penalty if a device attribute does not meet this requirement?
