This tells me that it's wanting the braille device to be the USB host and
the phone to be the USB device. That's the wrong way around so maybe you
need an OTG cable.

Both my phone and the braille display have USB-C connectors, so I thought
that OTG was not needed, but I could be wrong of course.

I looked into why I haven't seen this crash before. It caught me by
surprise. Enforcement for this permission only begins when an app targets
Android 11 (or higher).
Brltty was o nly targeting Android 10 until just a week ago or so. I had to
upgrade it to target Android 11 because of an imminent Google Play deadline
for doing that. The code is a few years old and, to my recollection, I
wasn't aware that this particular method call would start enforcing that
particular permission.

I'll see what happens on an Android 10 device.

With kind regards,

Henk.
