<pre>Long ago there was such an event, but I think we decided to remove it because
there was no use case where the capabilities were not known directly. The
commit

Drop capability events
We don't really support devices changing capabilities at runtime. The
kernel
has no ability to tell us when this happens on an already-opened device and
the few devices that can literally change physical capabilities (e.g. the
wiimote) open up extra kernel devices instead of modifying the existing
one.
Thus, we don't need to notify about devices changing capabilities.

was the one removing it, and the documentation might just be a left over from
the time before that.</pre>
