[Bug 2104267] Re: autoinstall fails to execute zdevs entries, reports ZdevController' object has no attribute 'zdevinfos'

I just tested autoinstall with "latest/edge/lp-2104267"
and it worked for me in a multiple DASD (zdevs) environment, great!

autoinstall successfully completed, and system came properly up
afterwards, and the ccw DASD devices were obviously properly configured
(otherwise the autoinstall would have been broken) !

The corresponding lines in the console are:
start: subiquity/Zdev/load_autoinstall_data:
finish: subiquity/Zdev/load_autoinstall_data:
(we may could think of being here a bit more chatty, and printing the chzdev command output to the console too - if that is possible -- but anyway, it works already like it is)

And btw. I used these lines in the autoinstall file to update the snap:
  early-commands:
  - snap refresh subiquity --channel=latest/edge/lp-2104267 --ignore-running

(
in the console I see this, kind of "double message", but I think it's ok:
"
running early commands
  running snap refresh subiquity --channel=latest/edge/lp-2104267 --ignore-running
connecting...   -
running early commands
  running snap refresh subiquity --channel=latest/edge/lp-2104267 --ignore-running
snap "subiquity" has no updates available
"
looks like it's checking again after the the update and the restart, but since it's then already on latest/edge/lp-2104267, it has no further update - that's how I interpret this ...)
)

Title:
  autoinstall fails to execute zdevs entries, reports ZdevController'
  object has no attribute 'zdevinfos'

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  In Progress
Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Starting with 25.04 the automatic generation of the autoinstall yaml
  file while doing in interactive installation is included.

  I now performed an interactive installation on a z/VM instance I the generated autoinstall file contained the new zdevs section:
    zdevs:
    - enabled: true
      id: 0.0.0200
    - enabled: true
      id: 0.0.0300
    - enabled: true
      id: 0.0.0400
  Which is great !

  I then took this autoinstall yaml, put it on my autoinstall server (as-is) as user-data file, and tried to do an autoinstall based on it.
  But it fails with the following messages in the console:
  "
  start: subiquity/OEM/load_metapackages_list:
