I agree that it should be reverted.

I was hoping that Manish or Tirumalesh would fix this properly by only
activating the quirk on the faulty hardware, but such a fix has never
appeared.

This was supposed to be true for all Cavium chips. We got such answer from Hardware architects, but it might change in the future.
I will be happy to replace this with DEVICE_ID.
Manish,
Could you please take this u, if not I will send a patch to do this.

Tirumalesh.
