That's not a very convincing argument.  Either assume that all future 
devices will need the quirk, or don't make any assumptions and just 
bump the range up to 0x0022.

In any case, there's no good reason for selecting 0x00FF as a cut-off
point.  We don't have any control over what bcdDevice values the vendor
assigns to its firmwares.  If they do go to the trouble of fixing the
READ CAPACITY bug, what makes you think they would change the bcdDevice
value to something above 0x0100?

Finally, 0x00FF is not a valid bcdDevice value.  These are binary-coded
decimal numbers, ranging up to 0x9999.  (I know we have a bunch of
entries set to 0xFFFF; they aren't valid either but at least they
make a clear point.)

So, I would accept a patch where the upper limit was set to any of 
0x0022, 0x9999, or 0xFFFF.  But 0x00FF just seems weird.
