I think that you must make sure that this is seen as a quirk, rather than
"something normal" because - as you said - the SBS specification says that
the TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW is *required*, so, this is a *deviation* from the spec
(so, the SBS implementation in those devices is *out of spec*!).

static const char * const quirk_remove_time_to_empty_now_models
or                        quirk_unsupported_time_to_empty_now_models

..the former, if you want to avoid having a variable name that is 5000 characters
long (:-P); the latter, if you don't care about that (there's no rule anyway).


Besides that, since I didn't like what I just saw, I looked for different
alternatives; the only other one is to de-constify the sbs_properties[] array,
which is something that I also dislike anyway.

I'm not sure if deconstifying that could be acceptable, but if it would, you
would be able to remove-reorder without copies of this and that.

Anyway - the only thing I really want here is to make sure that this is seen
as a quirk and a clear deviation from the specification - everything else is
a plus, and not really a blocker for me.

P.S.: sbs_quirk_remove_unsupported_properties :-)
