Good catch, but the solution is wrong. The original code was mistaken;
it should have said:
offset = (cap >> 8) & 0xff;
You can see that something like this is necessary if you consider the
code path for the case where (cap & 0xff) != 1 -- the loop would just
read the same capability value over and over again.
Would you like to submit a revised patch?
