"ValueError: Sub-data not available" when trying to parse vendor VariableItem #28
Description
I am trying to reverse engineer a device with a bunch of vendor specific report formats. I think I might have found an issue in VariableItem when parsing vendor messages:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Sub-data not available
I have a script that reproduces the issue here: https://github.com/haku/usbhid-experiments/blob/main/test-parse.py
The issue appears to be that hid_parser.data.UsagePages.get_subdata(page) fails with this exception for any value of page within the VENDOR_PAGE range. While this library's test cases in test_parse.py do test parsing vendor reports, all the data types defined are arrays which have a different decode code path.
I am still learning my way around this library so not entirely sure what the fix should be, but I am happy to spend some more time figuring it out if that would be helpful for you?
