Sorry for the radio silence. I worked on hidpp yesterday and submitted
a new patch for a problem that was overlooked in the previous fixes:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20230621-logitech-fixes-v1-1-32e70933c0b0@redhat.com/

The loop was not properly initializing all its local states, meaning
that when we encountered a "please retry" from the device, we could
never do the actual retry and returned a different error than in the
6.2 series.

Would anyone give it a shot?

Cheers,
Benjamin
