This doesn't seem right; libv4l2 should massage the result of
VIDIOC_QUERYCAP to include V4L2_CAP_READWRITE. See
<https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/tree/lib/libv4l2/libv4l2.c#n1210>.
On FreeBSD 11.2 with libv4l-1.6.3_4, that is certainly NOT the case. It could be a newer or not yet released feature.
