If you really want to fix this, I would prefer the alternative above.
Just one nitpick: please make sure ntrig_version_string() returns
either 0 (success) or a negative error.
Then in ntrig_report_version(), if the returned value is non null,
output a hid_warn() instead of leaking a non allocated buffer.
