If a userspace control input is out of range etc, then returning an error
but leaving things on makes sense.  If what we see is a comms error
it gets less clear on what we should do.

Moving it up or down a layer can work by allowing direct returns and always
trying to reenable if that makes sense.

Sadly in error handling there is often not a right answer on what to do!
