So, the user space solution seems difficult because we do not export
either the board_id or the firmware_id. So that would required to
update the kernel anyway, a bunch of user space tools and a hwdb... :(

How about we just add an extra min/max in struct min_max_quirk,
compare the current min/max with the 2 possible values and if there is
a match, we do not override the values.
This way, we keep the crap of wrong/correct min max in the small list
of device we know are problematic, and if the new batch of E540 has a
different correct min/max range, then we will be able to adjust it
without breaking the other we fixed.

Dmitry, Hans, any comments on this?

Cheers,
Benjamin
