Quotes from the spec:

"The device MUST allow reading of any device-specific configuration
field before FEATURES_OK is set by the driver. This includes fields
which are conditional on feature bits, as long as those feature bits
are offered by the device."

So we had the following in vdpa_dev_net_config_fill():

        features = vdev->config->get_driver_features(vdev);
        if (nla_put_u64_64bit(msg, VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NEGOTIATED_FEATURES, features,
                              VDPA_ATTR_PAD))
                return -EMSGSIZE;

It looks to me we need to switch to using get_device_features() instead.

Thanks
