Hi Yuval,
I some how missed to reply this, though I worked on your suggestions
in the already floated V5 patch earlier. Sorry for this!
There could be a case where the feature is supported by the SoC
and therefore it is already part of the 'hw_features' but it has been
say DISABLED or ENABLED by ethtool. In such a case, we need to
make sure we strike off that feature from the 'features' flag.

Therefore, we need this leg I suppose. Let me know If I am missing
something here or there is a gap in my understanding.

Thanks
Salil
