I'm not opposed to the idea in principle, although I don't like your
implementation because it breaks the original old_scheme_first
parameter.

Let's see what some other people think.

Yours is a rather special case, because you know exactly what device
will be attached to a specific port.  Still, I can see that sort of
thing happening in constrained and special-purpose settings.

How do you arrange to set the new quirk before the device is 
discovered?
