It seems like the suggested workaround is to precede the config read
with a config write.  Why do we need to involve toggling ACS SV?  Does
this avoid a race that the device might only see the read and not the
write and therefore still trigger the SV violation?  Per my reply on
1/2, I don't think there's a well defined calling convention for the
quirk as proposed.

There's no sign-off here, the above diffstat should be below the triple
dash, not above.  Please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches.  Thanks,
