And that's because there was nothing it could ask to control using the
_SB scope _OSC.

Today it is just reporting what features are supported by it.

However, with the upcoming USB4 CM support it needs to ask for the
control of that feature and that's why the _SB scope _OSC support
needs to be extended.  So it is not a fix for a bug or missing spec
coverage, which this part of the changelog kind of implies, it's just
enabling a new feature.
