If you are interested in programmatic way, the IOCTL/netlink/syscall/...
are the right approach for it and not sysfs files.

Why don't you follow standard way of doing it by creating new query IOCTL
command? Which will return declared feature bitmask, which application can
parse and understand?

Thanks
