driver stability and reliability is not affected by this failing, since
design-wise we don't count on setting the caps on this stage, we query
them anyway in the next stages of the driver load.
Many reason this could fail, old FW that doesn't handle this new CAP
properly, new FW which has a bug only in the new feature flow.
The driver should be resilient and provide basic functionality or in
this case just drop this feature, since next cap query of this feature
will return 0, and driver will not try to enable this feature anyway.
if it is something really fundamental that caused the issue, then just
let it be, if we fail in a more advanced mandatory stage then we will
fail on that stage, if we didn't, then it is a win win.

Awesome, Thanks !
