Ah, that's my fault. I didn't state too much in the patch comment.
I only left it in the cover letter.

Yes, it's the HW default value.

Ah, my excuse. I really didn't consider the case that you mentioned.
It seems it's better to do the judgement here for two cases.
1) property not exist, keep the current HW value
2) property exist, clamp align and update the suitable selector to HW.
