The code was backed out because it deemed unnecessary for standard
conforming devices. A better solution would be to find a standard
conforming way to detect such misbehaving devices to catch a large
group of them.
However in case of that PR this wouldn't be possible, because the
device resets itself for unimplemented commands.

My opinion is that we need the quirk.
