In Amlogic GXBB Legacy SCPI, the LEGACY_SCPI_CMD_SCPI_CAPABILITIES report
as SCPI_ERR_SUPPORT, so do not fail if this command is not supported.

Why not deal it in init_versions itself.

_dev_info(dev, "SCP Protocol %d.%d Firmware %d.%d.%d version\n",
PROTOCOL_REV_MAJOR(scpi_info->protocol_version),
PROTOCOL_REV_MINOR(scpi_info->protocol_version),

Why not have default value like 0.0 ? Just add a comment. Since get
version is exported out, IMO having default value makes more sense. What
do you think ?

Again this can stay as is if we have default.


Printing version 0.0 firmware 0.0.0 is a nonsense for me...


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 ?


I've experimented and returns EOPNOTSUPP, Amlogic confirmed to us the command was not implemented.

This a clearly a corner-case.


OK, thanks for the confirmation.
Not exporting anything could be kind of breaking ABI as it was not made
optional when introduced :( (you can blame me ;))
