 ``GET`` requests are sent by userspace applications to retrieve device
 bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
 the operation).

+are modified using ``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET`` request or on of ethtool ioctl
+request but also each time features are modified with netdev_update_features()
+or netdev_change_features().
