Can you a bit elaborate this? IT would be nice to have a comment in the code
explaining what is the difference with a generic approach.

Why it can not be done outside of this function?

Ditto.

And I think I already have told you that I prefer to see rather MODEL_ quirk.

Here is no answer to the question. What prevents you to fix your ACPI tables or
DT?

We already got rid of FIFO hard coded values, timings are harder to achieve,
but we expect that new firmwares will provide values in the ACPI tables.
