Andy,

good catch.

We should rather check for  V190 support only in case any
compat feature flags are actually set.

{
+       if (le32_to_cpu(sb->compat_features) &&
+           le32_to_cpu(sb->compat_features) != FEATURE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_V190)
{
                 rs->ti->error = "Unable to assemble array: Unknown flag(s)
in compatible feature flags";
                 return -EINVAL;
         }
If the feature flags are single bit combinations then I believe the
below does check exactly that.  Checking for no 1s outside of the
expected features, caring not for the value of the valid bits:

+     if (le32_to_cpu(sb->compat_features) & ~(FEATURE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_V190)) {

with the possibilty to or in additional feature bits as they are added.

Thanks,
I prefer this to be easier readable.
