Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/22] can: netlink: allow user to turn off unsupported features

From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@...adoo.fr>

The sanity checks on the control modes will reject any request related
to an unsupported features, even turning it off.

Example on an interface which does not support CAN-FD:

$ ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 fd off
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

This patch lets such command go through (but requests to turn on an
unsupported feature are, of course, still denied).
