Only time it can fail when there is no report descriptor or the field
index is >= report->maxfield.
But since the attribute is registered from the report descriptor and
index, this can't happen.
But we can enhance sensor_hub_set_feature() to fail when
 hid_set_field() fails. There is one case where field->logical_minimum
< 0  and value is out of range.
