One thing I didn’t point out. The controls we are setting here are not
visible from userspace. That’s the point of the ‘filter’ card method
I am trying to establish in the other commit. With it, the card decides
which controls are okay to be exported and which should be hidden.

Here we are only setting hidden controls.
