Yes, as the API name implies, it should return the device capability
instead of enable/disable status. I misused this API in the IOMMU
driver.

Since we already have iommu_dev_enable/disable_feature() to enable and
disable an iommu specific feature, is it possible to add another API to
query whether a specific feature has been enabled?

How about

bool iommu_dev_feature_enabled(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX)?

This is necessary for the third party drivers (like vfio) to determine
which domain attach interface it should use:

if (iommu_dev_feature_enabled(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX))
         iommmu_aux_attach_device(domain, dev)
else
         iommu_attach_device(domain, dev)
