This wouldn't solve the problem of a user with two otherwise identical devices, of which one requires the FIX_CAPACITY override and the other doesn't. And as long as we're being hypothetical, suppose the PL-3507 had a second quirk which the firmware upgrade didn't fix. Then you'd have to tell usb-storage exactly which quirk to ignore. There are other, more general sorts of objections. For example, it's a mistake to try putting device-specific information in a module parameter (which, by its very nature, should apply to all devices managed by that driver).
