Could you move the checks to their own function like
'fpga_mgr_check_caps()' or something?  I really like it if we can keep
the functions short, like a screen or so where it's practicle to do
so and I could see the number of caps growing here.  The only
counter argument I could think of is if a cap affects the sequence
in this function.  Hmmm...
