There are two reasons for changing this: 1. The nvme device currently uses an internal Intel device id. 2. Since commits "nvme: fix write zeroes offset and count" and "nvme: support multiple namespaces" the controller device no longer has the quirks that the Linux kernel think it has. As the quirks are applied based on pci vendor and device id, change them to get rid of the quirks. To keep backward compatibility, add a new 'use-intel-id' parameter to the nvme device to force use of the Intel vendor and device id. This is off by default but add a compat property to set this for 5.1 machines and older. If a 5.1 machine is booted (or the use-intel-id parameter is explicitly set to true), the Linux kernel will just apply these unnecessary quirks: 1. NVME_QUIRK_IDENTIFY_CNS which says that the device does not support anything else than values 0x0 and 0x1 for CNS (Identify Namespace and Identify Namespace). With multiple namespace support, this just means that the kernel will "scan" namespaces instead of using "Active Namespace ID list" (CNS 0x2). 2. NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES. The nvme device started out with a broken Write Zeroes implementation which has since been fixed in commit 9d6459d21a6e ("nvme: fix write zeroes offset and count").
