I could split out more of the information, but there's a balance between
exposing enough that we won't need to add more values in the near future
and ending up with one sysfs file for pretty much every capabilities
bit. I'm not aware of any cases where we can currently generalise this
to other controllers, but I'm happy to be proven wrong on that.
