Sorry for not paying enough attention to this patch.
If the set_feature() fails, the get_feature will also fail as only time
they will fail if the element is not supported. Invalid values are
silently rejected or in some hubs caps to nearest good value.

But patch itself is fine, but not an urgent one. It can go with normal
release cycle.

Thanks,
