If the feature flags are single bit combinations then I believe the
below does check exactly that.  Checking for no 1s outside of the
expected features, caring not for the value of the valid bits:

+     if (le32_to_cpu(sb->compat_features) & ~(FEATURE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_V190)) {

with the possibilty to or in additional feature bits as they are added.
