If there is only theoretical device like that now, implement
all-or-nothing. If such theoretical device appears in real, this could
be changed. The UAPI would not change, no problem.

Check if all dplls have ops and only perform the action in such case. In
case one of the dplls does not have the op filled, return -EOPNOTSUPP.


Regarding the successful/failed op, I think you can just return. In
these cases, when user performs multiaction cmd, he should be prepared
to deal with consequences if part of this cmd fails. We don't have
rollback for any other multiaction cmd in dpll, I don't see why this
should be treated differently.
