This capability flag doesn't currently appear to be used for anything (which makes me wonder whether it _should_ be wired up to something in the kernel). Do we expect the kernel to do something special with this in the future? OTOH, we get a nice printk when the feature is detected, and the code size cost is insignificant. So, if there's a reasonable expectation that we will use it someday, I don't see a big problem with having it.

Yes it's not currently used, so I'm happy to drop this patch if people prefer that - however it does complement the existing DCPOP cap which is present.

OK, sounds fine. Maybe add a note in the commit message that this is here for consistency with DCPOP, and we anticipate it being used in the future. Cheers ---Dave
