I think pnp is off in smsc-ircc2 by default, right?

I agree it would make sense to put the quirk in smsc-ircc2, since
we only need it if we want to use the smsc-ircc2 driver. But I don't
think we have a mechanism for calling quirks at module load-time, so
it has to be part of the static kernel. And we don't have anything
like DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_SECTION, so it really has to be in quirks.c for
now.
How does the following patch look?
PNP: remove SMCf010 quirk
If the quirk enables the SIR part of the SMCf010 device, the 8250 driver
may claim it as a legacy ttyS device, which makes the legacy probe in the
smsc-ircc2 driver fail.
