This confuses me.  It says SAVE takes precedence over RESTORE.
and than it says it is strictly 'RESTORE' only.

Maybe you should not initialize the 'supported_mode' ?
or put a comment somewhere here, saying this value will be overwritten
during system initialization?


Otherwise the code looks correct.
