+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] macOS: Use unique IDs for HID paths
+
+If available, use the system-generated unique ID for HID device paths instead of a transport/vid/pid/location tuple.
+The Mayflash Dolphinbar registers four HID devices (regardless of the number of connected Wiimotes) which had the same path with the previous path building method, causing a bit of confusion when detecting and connecting to Wiimotes.
+The unique IDs do not change if the computer is suspended and resumed, but do change if the HID device is unplugged/replugged.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] macOS: Add errno setting in set_report (HID)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+IsDeviceUsable in IOhidapi.cpp uses errno to detect if hid_write failed because of an unconnected Wiimote on a Dolphinbar (it expects errno == EPIPE in this case).
+macOS’s implementation of hid_write detected this specific error (IOHIDDeviceSetReport returns kUSBHostReturnPipeStalled) but didn’t set errno so the check failed.
+This add errno assignment to failure cases of macOS’s hid_write.
