The whole quirk handling infrastructure seems to be an overkill to me.
I will leave it to maintainers to comment further.

I have been looking thru the code, and I have a reasonable implementation
which updates this one patch. This pulls in common code from pci-host-generic.c
as well.  I will post it by next week and you can decide whether to use it
to update your patchset.
