strace output snippet following open of the usb device /dev/bus/usb/006/002

Description of problem:
usbhid-ups from the "nut" UPS monitor works as expected with libusbx-1.0.24-4.el9.  However, after updating to libusbx-1.0.25-2.el9.x86_64, it is unable to identify a USB attached UPS.

I'll attach two snippets of strace output, one that fails (with 1.0.25 installed) and one that works as expected (with 1.0.24 installed).  If those are not useful, please let me know what other information might be.

/etc/ups/ups.conf contains:

[apc]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libusbx-1.0.25-2.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure nut to monitor Back-UPS RS 1500MS, as above
2. Run "usbhid-ups -a apc"
3. Update to libusbx-1.0.25-2.el9.x86_64
4. Run "usbhid-ups -a apc"

Actual results:
usbhid-ups will report that it can't identify the UPS (info like "Manufacturer: unknown" and "Unable to get HID descriptor (No such device or address)") and exits.

Expected results:

Yeah, the CentOS version is messed up currently. I was working on solutions for Fedora, but haven't pushing anything new into CentOS had not been on my radar.

For now, I suggest downgrading to 1.0.24.
