You mean turn it on once and keep it like that? Quick experimentation
with a couple of LR devices did not show any side-effects so I guess we
could just turn it on once during the enumeration in affected devices.

Main reason it is now in cap.c is because we only need it to be enabled
during the cap walk and that allows keeping both workarounds in the same
file close to the place where it is used.
