According to the specification[1] the 'capabilities' describe the physical device as a whole and the 'device_caps' describe the current device node. The existence of 'device_caps' is indicated by the V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS capability flag. Use the 'device_caps' if available to generate the correct ID_V4L_CAPABILITIES for the current device node. This is relevant for UVC devices with current kernels: Two /dev/videoX devices exist for those. One for video and one for metadata. The V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE flag is present in the 'capabilities' for both device nodes but only in the 'device_caps' of the video device node. Without this, the ID_V4L_CAPABILITIES of the metadata device node incorrectly contains 'capture'.

v4l_id: use device_caps if available
According to the specification[1] the 'capabilities' describe the physical
device as a whole and the 'device_caps' describe the current device node.
The existence of 'device_caps' is indicated by the V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS
capability flag.
Use the 'device_caps' if available to generate the correct
ID_V4L_CAPABILITIES for the current device node.
This is relevant for UVC devices with current kernels: Two /dev/videoX
devices exist for those. One for video and one for metadata. The
V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE flag is present in the 'capabilities' for both
device nodes but only in the 'device_caps' of the video device node.
Without this, the ID_V4L_CAPABILITIES of the metadata device node
incorrectly contains 'capture'.
