Ah, that's not a correct cap name. That suggests that userspace can
set the max number of buffers. Instead it should be:
V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MAX_NUM_BUFFERS
indicating that userspace can use the max_num_buffers field.

Call it max_num_buffers. It clearly indicates that it is about the maximum
number of buffers, and not e.g. maximum buffer size or some other buffer
property. It is also consistent with the internal field name.
