Interview fails for all IKEA E1746 repeaters after major version upgrade

[dhcgn]

After upgrading Zigbee2MQTT from version 1.x to 2.1.3, all IKEA Zigbee repeaters (E1746) stopped functioning.

Environment:

• Zigbee2MQTT version: 2.1.3 (running via Docker)
• Host OS: Freshly installed Ubuntu machine
• Zigbee Coordinator Stick: usb-Silicon_Labs_slae.sh_cc2652rb_stick_-_slaesh_s_iot_stuff_00_12_4B_00_21_CC_4A_79-if00-port0
• Coordinator Firmware: CC2652RB_coordinator_20240710

Issue:

• IKEA Zigbee repeaters (E1746) cannot be recognized or paired.
• The issue occurs with both previously paired devices and completely new ones.
• The IKEA E1746 repeater remains listed as supported: [IKEA E1746 compatibility](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E1746.html).

Error Log:

z2m: Request 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/device/interview' failed with error: 'interview of 'kueche_usb' (0x5c0272fffe71efcc) failed: Error: Interview failed because can not get node descriptor ('0x5c0272fffe71efcc')'

Additional context:

• Other Zigbee devices from different manufacturers operate normally after the upgrade.
• Screenshot shows:
  • 3 working devices
  • 2 IKEA E1746 repeaters showing identical states ("interview failed")
