Applied to pci/for-linus, hoping for v6.18.  Thanks Shawn and Lukas
for testing and reviewing.  Any other comments and testing would be
very welcome.

I think we'll need to add a similar quirk for Christian's X1000
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/a41d2ca1-fcd9-c416-b111-a958e92e94bf@xenosoft.de),
but I don't know the device ID for it yet.
