I'm open to other ways, feel free to propose one :)

If you do a quirk, you need some way to identify the machine/firmware
combination, because you don't want to apply the quirk on every
machine.  You're trying to work around a firmware issue, so you
probably want something tied to the firmware version.  On x86, that's
typically done with DMI.
