Summary

The capability bits to request FEC modes are implicitly valid
when the corresponding FEC mode is a supported capability.
Drivers expect that it is only valid to advertise those
capabilities explicitly marked as supported. The capabilities
reported by firmware is modified with the implicit capabilities
to present the explicit model to drivers.
