That's not what I read from the code:

         features = ifcvf_get_features(vf) & IFCVF_SUPPORTED_FEATURES;

If we know device will always offer ACCESS_PLATFORM, there's no need to 
check it again. What we should check if whether driver set that, and if 
it doesn't we need to fail set_features(). I think there's little chance 
that IFCVF can work when IOMMU_PLATFORM is not negotiated.

So again, if you want to check device features, set_features() is not 
the proper place. We need to fail the probe in this case.
