OK 0.0 was a wrong example. May be 0.1 ?

Since the driver has already exposed, hypothetically user-space can use
that information, so IMO, we need to expose some static version for pre-v1.0

I am surprised that capability is not supported as this was present even
in that legacy SCPI. Do you know what happens if you send that command ?
Have you done some experiments on that ?
