I'd love to apply this kind of cleanups (and I do sometimes
partially), but practically seen, this may make the stable backporting
significantly harder because many quirk patches are backported to the
very old LTS kernels.  So, unless any specific reason (e.g. some
entries doubled or wrongly applied) is given, I'd avoid this full
plastic surgery.

thanks,

Takashi
