OK, will do.

We won't be able to set a value if there is no support, but nothing will stop us from clearing it regardless - unless this would be safe to do? What do you think?
Seems make sense, Will do. It is better do the same thing on the "disable" path too.

Will fix. Thanks, Dongdong
Albeit, I appreciate that you followed the existing naming pattern. Krzysztof .
