I always thought it was best to be explicit.

Great. But don't tell me that. You need to tell the next person who
reads this code, and the next, and the next. Defines work best for

"Operation not supported on transport endpoint" doesn't seem like a
good fit here. If the check says, please consider changing it to
something like -EINVAL.
