The controller is not reporting an unlawful type, it is reporting an
invalid type. Illegal specifically means "prohibited by law" [1]
Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
[1] Microsoft BSOD excepted - and that has another mistake too - it says
"your software" meaning "our software" according to their licence.
