Sure, I agree that it's not necessarily an error that needs
to propagate to the user.

My assumption, which I now see is likely false, is that drivers
could return -EOPNOTSUPP, to indicate to higher layers that the operation
is not supported. But the higher layers may not propagate that.

But it seems that is not the case here. So I think return 0 is fine
after all. Sorry for the noise.
