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?
