There is always at least one entry returned so the condition above will 
always be true - we will never reduce the number of HW capabilities bits 
so I believe the test is unnecessary. It's not there in the existing 
version of the code either. However if you want me to add it I'll do so.

I've run it under the debugger and single stepped through the code on a 
T5 and T7. The features are set as expected.
