Shouldn't it be return -EOPNOTSUPP;?
However, before the function update_rmid_limits() is called, there is a check: if (cache_has_usable_csu(class) && topology_matches_l3(class)).
cache_has_usable_csu(class) already contains an identical check. Therefore, I think it's safe to remove this redundant one.
