On HID report descriptor parsing error the code displays bogus pointer instead of error offset (subtracts start=NULL from end). Make the message more useful by displaying correct error offset and include total buffer size for reference. This was carried over from ancient times - "Fixed" commit just promoted the message from DEBUG to ERROR.
