The error code was found by probing the hardware. The HID++ 2.0 spec
does define some error codes, for example an OutOfRange error when
GetFeatureID is called with a featureIndex greater than the available
features count. The documentation also defines the valid FeatureIndex
range as 1..254, so I thought it was reasonable to assume that 0xff is
the HID++ 2.0 error indicator.

Nestor, so far I have only seen the OutOfRange error when the arguments
are invalid. Are there other cases where HID++ 2.0 are reported instead
of HID++ 1.0?

QEMU was not the problem though, it was just a bug in my
usb-ltunify-receiver device emulation which exposed this missing check.

Kind regards,
Peter
