I was suggested to use - EOPNOTSUPP instead of - ENOTSUPP by the check patch scripts and by Leon Romanovsky.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/20230130180504.2029440-2-neeraj.sanjaykale@nxp.com/

ENOTSUPP is not a standard error code and should be avoided in new patches.
See: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510182252.GA411829@lunn.ch/
