We can, but we loose the ability to restore to the default power on
configuration. For other control limits, users have ability to look at
the sysfs and set the limits back to power on default. Since we don't
have any other way to look at go back to default EPP, once save and
restore. So if this behavior is not important, then this can be done.

Thanks,
