Knowing that I am neither in the group, nor qualified enough to give any statements that go beyond my opinion on this issue; Is it possible to change the strategy on the fly by writing to a kernel pseudo-device at /proc ? This would keep the fallback solution available without recompiling the kernel.
Sounds a bit awkward to me, since such strategies relate to per-device bugs. What works for one device may not work for another. And worse, it's not going to be immediately apparent to an end-user that this is the root cause of some particular strangeness; even if it were, such users aren't normally going to be privileged enough to modify such a configuration file.
Technically it's possible, yes, but what we really need is to have the kernel "just work", and be accomodating of such firmware bugs. (And yes, for firmware developers to create fewer such bugs.)
