I think the reason I went with the non-typed version here was for the
explicit error message. Specifically, to simplify debugging in case we'd
get any new device that behaves differently. But since then I think MS
discontinued the use of this driver (or at least this part) in their
devices (no more detachable GPUs). Also, the likelihood of that
interface changing is pretty small regardless.

So I'm fine with changing that.
