Hmm, maybe we should restrain a little bit the reserved quirks...
But actually, .driver_data and .quirks are both unsigned long, so you
should be able to use the 64 bits.

I would think this have to do with the device not accepting the
command instead. Can you share some raw logs of the events (ideally
with hid-recorder from
