This feels like a really heavy hammer, to add a xhci flag for a single
broken device.

Are you sure this is really needed?  What does this device do on other
operating systems, do they have such a quirk for their host controller
driver?

Or is this due to the specific host controller device hardware?  Should
this be a xhci quirk for a specific pci device instead?

To match other flags here, how about "URB_NO_SOFT_RETRY"?
