For the particular device that I want to support, they are giving me a
value of 1 and 0, and the example from usb.org seems to work the same
way (Logical Maximum of 1)
https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/hutrr107-humanpresenceattention_1.pdf

I have no problem multiplying my value by 100 if you think there will
be a use case for that. It will not have a major performance impact on
the driver.

You decide ;)
