Unfortunately we can not assume the firmware to be always correct. Companies love to recycle the firmware. We are going to see products from a company X that should prefer source role, a desktop for example, but still give the OS a device property that says otherwise. The reason for that is most likely because the previous product from that company was some kind of mobile device. So IMHO we need some way for the OS to override this thing eventually. If not module parameters, then something else. The other option is board specific quirks, and I would really prefer to avoid those if we can.
