If I read the probe function correctly, we should have the HID++
reports present, so a static analysis will not allow us to detect that
information.

However, this reminds me of the Litra Glow[0]. On this device,
hidpp_root_get_protocol_version() also reports an error when it is
obvious it is connected.
And AFAICT, a BLE device is supposed to always be connected when it is
presented to the kernel (because disconnect is handled in the BLE
layer, in bluez).

Apparently Rafael's mouse is Bluetooth classic, so I have a doubt on
what happens when it goes into low power.

Given the current state of Rafael's mouse it goes into the second
category. But I suspect we should be smarter in the probe's decision
to consider if a device is connected or not.
