Yes, that would require some extra plumbing and adding in extra code
because this is a common function called for many different types of
device, so we would need to pass in a device-type enum. If, on the other
hand, we just send an error code back up the return stack to the caller,
then we'll have a dozen or so callers with nearly (but not quite)
identical error messages.

Same issue makes it cumbersome - the more detailed info about the type
of device (and which device of that type) is several layers up the call
chain, so it's going to take extra setup at the higher level, and
passing a device-type enum down to do this.
I agree that it needs to be done before 1.1.2, but I think it's
important for this code to get wider testing even sooner.
