Ok.

There is a check above that len fits in query_item->length. So unless 
the code distrusts itself in a space of a few lines, or we distrust 
INTEL_INFO->num_engines vs for_each_engine I don't see it is needed?

And I trust pending feedback from media team. :)

Hm.. trying to remember. It is GNU C vs C99 for zero sized array vs 
flexible array member. We went for the latter in the topology query 
after some discussion but I don't remember the details now. Grepping the 
uapi headers there are both so don't know.. GCC documentation says 
flexible members are preferred.

Have r-b from Lionel already.

Could split common and per class, 32-bits each with separate fields?

	__u32 capabilities;
	__u32 class_capabilities;

Or keep __u64 capabilities and say common start from bit0 and per class 
start at bit32? this option could be added/defined post factum as well, 
with no required changes now - once there is a first common cap. As long 
as there is a nice block of free bits at that point.
