I am not entirely sure about this one. When BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAP=y, are
we sure that the user wants to use capabilities for everything
including this GStreamer feature? There are other possible values for
--with-ptp-helper-permissions. So it would be good to have a commit log
that details a bit more the reasoning, other than just "it might use
libcap, so let's use it".
