I proposed this fix when faced feature which supported by FW and by the driver but was not printed out (auto-sense).
This shows that the current practice is hard to maintain, when developer implement feature in driver he *must remember* also to add string here.

The function is called dump_dev_cap_flags so why not used it to dump device capability flags?

See my note above - this will be hard to maintain.
Maybe, as suggestion, we should have the equivalent priv.driver_cap_flags, and dump function will print the merged flags (binary and them)?
