You are not using that flag anywhere in this series. But why would
orientation need a "quirk" in the first place?

I'm not sure where you are going with this, but please try to avoid
the quirk flags in general in this driver rather than considering them
as the first way of solving things. Use them only as the last resort.

I don't want this driver to end up like xhci and some other drivers,
where refactoring is almost impossible because every place is full of
conditions checking the quirks, and where in worst case a quirk meant
to solve a problem on one hardware causes problems on another.

thanks,
