I'm sorry Prashant, I failed to notice your comment.

This is only needed for Chrome OS. The problem affects only certain
Chromebooks.

I do not want to put quirks to the generic subsystem code unless we
have to. If there are more device drivers that need the same quirk,
then we can move it there, but not before that.

This solution is in any case a hack regardless of where we put it, and
I don't like it because of that. But I don't have any better ideas
unfortunately.

thanks,
