Re-reading stuff... AFAICT everything in 0x2200..0x220F should be
valid. They should match what's in 0x0000..0x000F except for 0x0000,
0x0001, and 0x0005, for backwards compatibility.
Apparently there are no such backwards compatibility concerns with the
other receiver cap fields then.
But it gives me an uneasy feeling that many places in the spec refer to
0x2200+ even though they should per spec be the same in 0x0000+.
I guess we can try without the change, and fix later if we hit issues.
BR,
Jani.
