Can you explain the "whatever OPP(s) are represented by bit zero"
part? This doesn't seem to be true because `supp_hw` is initiated to
UINT_MAX. If I'm remembering how this all works, doesn't that mean
that if we get an error we'll assume all OPPs are OK?

I'm not saying that I'm against your change, but I think maybe you're
misdescribing the old behavior.

Speaking of the initialization of supp_hw, if we want to change the
behavior like your patch does then we should be able to remove that
initialization, right?

I would also suspect that your patch will result in a compiler
warning, at least on some compilers. The goto label `done` is no
longer needed, right?
